I look forward to your The standard SelectDirectory in LCL in crap, because it works very different on all widget sets and under GTK1 it's the File Open dialog! Instead, I would recommend you use the dirsel.pas unit. It has a consistent look across all platforms and uses the familiar directory treeview to select a directory. I mostly used GTK1 under Lazarus on Linux and it's a welcome change to the File Open dialog for selecting directories. PS: I once tried to implement the dirsel.pas unit as the default for GTK1, but again I got lost in the complexity of the LCL backends.
