Filesystem browsing when opening notebook

[LFBernardo]

Running Keepnote 0.78 on Kali 2017.1. When you create or restore a notebook the file system can be browsed to the required location. But when opening different notebooks the file system isn't browse-able.

Logs are not indicating any errors or failures.

As I keep separate notebooks for all my clients this is quite painful

The workaround I currently use is going through the filesystem and opening up the nbk files.

I was able to create a temporary workaround for this problem by editing the following file:

/usr/share/pyshared/keepnote/gui/main_window.py

I changed the order of the code on lines 547-555.

From:

    file_filter = gtk.FileFilter()
    file_filter.add_pattern("*.nbk")
    file_filter.set_name(_("Notebook (*.nbk)"))
    dialog.add_filter(file_filter)

    file_filter = gtk.FileFilter()
    file_filter.add_pattern("*")
    file_filter.set_name(_("All files (*.*)"))
    dialog.add_filter(file_filter)

To:

    file_filter = gtk.FileFilter()
    file_filter.add_pattern("*")
    file_filter.set_name(_("All files (*.*)"))
    dialog.add_filter(file_filter)

    file_filter = gtk.FileFilter()
    file_filter.add_pattern("*.nbk")
    file_filter.set_name(_("Notebook (*.nbk)"))
    dialog.add_filter(file_filter)

I will give it a go and see if it works for me as soon as I have spare time.
