Linux: Audio file selection duplicates previously selected files

[stagnantreserve]

Describe the bug

When a transcription job is already running and I select another audio file to add a further transcription job, the GUI states "multiple files selected"

The log then contains duplicated file paths, e.g.:

Audio file(s) selected:
/home/user/Audio/interview_01.m4a
/home/user/Audio/interview_02.m4a
/home/user/Audio/interview_02.m4a
/home/user/Audio/interview_02.m4a
/home/user/Audio/interview_02.m4a
/home/user/Audio/interview_01.m4a
/home/user/Audio/interview_02.m4a

In this case I tried to select only interview_02.m4a once, but repeatelty reopening the file browser in order to get only one file only adds to the "file chain".

The problem may to be related to the combination of multiple=True and the initialfile argument in button_audio_file_event(). Removing initialfile while keeping initialdir can maybe avoid re-injecting previously selected files?

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu
• noScribe Version: 0.7

Yes, this might be the cause. However, if the previous file is pre-selected in the file browser, this selection should be removed once you click on any other file, nor not? Could it be that you somehow have the Ctrl key permanently on? This could cause the described behavior?

Di you try removing the initialfile argument?

That's correct: when I click on a different file, the previously selected file is no longer listed under "File names" in the file browser. However, after confirming the selection and closing the file browser, it nevertheless reports "multiple files selected".

When I open the file browser again, both the previously selected file and the newly selected file are listed under "File names".

So, as far as I can tell, there seems to be no way to prevent the previous file from being passed to the dialog again via initialfile, even though it appears to be deselected in the UI when I select another file.

I can also rule out the Ctrl key being permanently pressed or activated.

I haven't tried removing the initialfile argument yet.
