Script-fu SF-FILENAME don't show the default setting

When using SF-FILENAME, if the file exist, the name of the file is shown

Is there a way to show the name on the button even if the file does not
exist?

After some try/error and a look at the code, it seems not.

SF-Filename uses gtk_file_chooser_button, and acording to http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.10/GtkFileChooserButton.html#id3631060 gtk_file_chooser_button only supports the GtkFileChooserActions GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN and GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER, not the GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE

GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN Indicates open mode. The file chooser will only let the user pick an existing file. GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE Indicates save mode. The file chooser will let the user pick an existing file, or type in a new filename.

So, if someone like I wants to write a nonexistent file, and this file has to be selected by the user, the obvious solution is to use SF-DIRNAME to get the directory and follow a SF-STRING to get the filename.
After that, a (string-append dirname "/" filename) in the code gives the full path.
