Save as dialog doesn't show selected image
Replicate
-
Place several PNG images into /tmp/.
-
Open a program.
-
When saving, browse to /tmp/.
-
Select one of the existing images in the /tmp/ directory.
-
Take a screenshot of that program. Expected
The image thumbnail shows the selected image in the /tmp/ directory.
Actual
The image thumbnail shows an image of the screenshot, regardless of whatever PNG image was selected in the Save As dialog box.
In the following image, upper-left dialog box was taken as a screenshot, the upper-right dialog box is an image that exists in the /tmp/ directory named "install-linux.png" (opened with "feh" image viewer), and the lower dialog box shows the "Save As" dialog with "install-linux.png" selected but the upper-left dialog box is shown, instead.
As a user, I already know what screenshot image has been captured. What I'd like to see is what image I'm replacing. This is especially useful when there are a lot of similar images and I want to make sure I'm replacing the correct one.
And here's a screenshot showing that the above screenshot doesn't appear as a thumbnail when selected in the Save As dialog:
Work around
- Open a terminal.
- Change to the /tmp/ directory.
- Run "feh" on the images to confirm overwriting the correct file.
Additional details
I believe this is a regression as it was providing a preview of the selected file at least a week ago.
