Move File -> New Folder no longer works

[gilrodman]

Setup (please complete the following information):

• Distribution: Manjaro
• Distribution release: 25.0.2
• Geeqie version [geeqie --version]: 2.6

Describe the bug
"New Folder" option no longer works from within "Move" dialogue.

To reproduce
Select file.
Ctrl-M opens Move pop-up with shortcuts/directory menu successfully.
"Create Folder" button generates no response. :(

Expected behavior
Something comparable to the behavior using Ctrl-F, which opens a pop-up with shortcuts/directory menu ... from which the "Create Folder" button works properly. I.e., An additional pop-up appears, where I can enter the name of the new folder, and then complete the process successfully.

I think this was fixed in commit 380f70d

Thanks ... but help a non-coder out, please. If that's a fix that'll show up whenever the next update is available, that's great. But it isn't showing up on my end yet. Or am I missing something I should be able to adjust on my own?

I think you have 4 options:

1. Wait until the Manjaro packagers release v2.7 - but I am not likely to create v2.7 for several months.
2. Compile from sources - easy if you know how, and a pain in the neck if you do not.
3. Use an AppImage until there is a new release.
4. Revert to v2.5

An AppImage is a single executable that contains most files that are required to run the app. There are no changes made to your system when it runs. If you do not like what is supplied, just delete the file and nothing has changed.

AppImages are created automatically for Geeqie whenever the sources are updated. To use a Geeqie AppImage:

cd <somewhere>
wget https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/releases/download/continuous/Geeqie-latest-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x Geeqie-latest-x86_64.AppImage
./Geeqie-latest-x86_64.AppImage

(There is a way to get the file to load faster, but that is not relevant at the moment)

Thanks very much. I appreciate the detailed info and all the work you do.
