Yes, I can confirm the same behavior with the 0.7.11 rpm version
installed under SuSE 6.2 and KDE. I used the buttons but got the same
result. The only thing that is some help is that the directory does
change and, if the open file button is clicked again, you can select a
file from the new directory. I don't know if this an old bug since I did
not try with 0.7.10 and have overwritten that version.
