Do you want this only in gimp or in all programs that use the gtk+ widgets and dialogs? I think the gtk dialog can be made better and should be improved for all applications, not just gimp. Things I don't like: * In fedora 3 I can type in a filename and it selects that file in the file tree view and it just works. It does not work with full paths so I either have to navigate to the correct directory first (which I usually do using a bookmark) or have to use the hidden feature of Ctrl-L (almost never do this). If one fixes so one can type in any path directly, and not just filenames in the current selected dir, then the Ctrl-L is not needed anymore. * The file tree view does not always have input focus when the dialog is opened. So sometimes when I type in a filename the focus is in the bookmark part of the dialog and it matches a bookmark instead. Also, some keys to fast give bookmarks and filelist input focus would be nice (and <tab>:ing to the right widget is too much work). I've not filed any bugs for the above and I don't know if maybe this have already been improved in later versions of gtk+ then what's in FC3. It's simply not a big enough problem for me that I've done that but I still would want these things to be improved. The battle for you to fight is with gtk2 and not with gimp. If gimp started to use another dialog then what other gtk2 programs did, then people would start a fight about that. I also think that some of you in this thread are unfair to Sven. From my point of view he tries to help as much as he can. For you reverting to the old dialog is a solution, for me that would make the dialog a lot worse. I love the bookmark feature. I usually just use a couple of directories in total and I have these as bookmarks. Currently not everyone is happy with the new dialog but hopefully it can be improved so most of us are happy in the future. If not, then what do you suggest? Either way you choose someone will be unhappy. -- /Dennis _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
