reading directories with ~

Hi all.

I'm not sure if this bug has been reported but I just found out what I can't read a directory that starts with a ~ (tilda, the actual name is
"~gezim.hoxha")...I know that I'm supposed to "search" bugzilla and then report this...but frankly I registered an account and it's too complicated...so if anyone wants to file this bug good...if not umm...I'll just change the directory name :D

You could at least mention what version of GIMP you are using.

Sorry I forgot, it was 2.0.4 then I upgraded to 2.0.6 but still it seems unable to open them. At the bottom of the Open Image window it said "Folder unreadable: success"...

Yes, the bug report was well done. Unfortunately it had been reported before (bug #155577) and seems to be caused by the old GTK+ file selection widget which has been deprecated and replaced by GtkFileChooser. The new widget seems to handle those names just fine. This mean there's no such problem in GIMP 2.2 and the GIMP 2.0 tree as well as the GTK+ file selection widget aren't maintained any longer. Thus I had to close your nice bug report as WONTFIX.
