Version 5.4, installed using apt-get, Xubuntu 14.04LTS.
The 'import files from directory' function doesn't seem to work any more. The import folder is fixed and can't be changed. Am I missing something, or has something changed. I was using 5.1 for the past year or so.
Rory.

I see what you mean.
Looks like when selecting a folder from the 'list' is not changing the content.
However, if you select it using the 'Other...' than it will work

It is now fixed in git head.

Hi,
I see what you mean. Even if you use the field above to navigate to a different dir, the result doesn't 'take' in the select-dirs field.
This works fine on debian wheezy, but not on e.g. ubuntu saucy and trusty. I suspect it's a due to a change in the underlying gtk+ control that's being used in more recent systems (did you upgrade your Xubuntu version at the same time as the dialog started failing?).
I'll look into it.
Regards,
David

I took a shot at building from source but got caught out with wxWidgets. Following the instructions online I did:
apt-key adv --fetch-keys
http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb
http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0trusty/ trusty universe'
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install libwxbase3.0-0-unofficial libwxbase3.0-dev libwxgtk3.0-0-unofficial libwxgtk3.0-dev wx3.0-headers wx-common libwxbase3.0-dbg
but it resulted in this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libwxbase3.0-0-unofficial
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libwxbase3.0-0-unofficial'
E: Unable to locate package libwxgtk3.0-0-unofficial
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libwxgtk3.0-0-unofficial'
E: Unable to locate package libwxbase3.0-dbg

Any ideas?

Some of the package names are different for trusty. I've just updated
the documentation to make that clear.
Of course synaptic-users didn't have a problem
.
