------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 29 01:47:38 -0800 2005 ------- Further http://www.gnome.org/~seth/designs/filechooser-spec/ reads: [...] Save As Dialog [...] Another operation most people will have to do some times is select the file type. This is less commonly needed by Windows users (the default is fine almost always), but Linux users will realistically have to save as, e.g. MS Word from time to time. [...] Save As Dialog (expanded) [...] Summary: If you don't really have a choice between document-types (like in a webbrowser - all you can do is save as html basically) you don't need to offer a selection. If it is like in OOo or file roller you have fundamental different filetypes to choose from, you should offer the selection in the dialog. gedit for example is another example: Insetead of the filetype (always text documents) you are offered the character-set selection, galeon has a similar approach (offers a variation of the format, but not with a drop-down listbox but with a checkmark). Everything the user needs more frequently (and as even the cited spec puts it down: Users need to save in other formats) should be accessible from the collapsed dialog. Choosing the filetype is not an advanced option like setting the compression algorithm for tiff or jpeg, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
