GtkFileChooser::set_current_name

void set_current_name(name);

Sets the current name in the file selector, as if entered by the user. Note that the name passed in here is a UTF-8 string rather than a filename. This function is meant for such uses as a suggested name in a "Save As..." dialog.

If you want to preselect a particular existing file, you should use set_filename() instead.
