You basically have no clue on how the new dialog works. That doesn't shed a good light on the new dialog but it also shows that you are rather ignorant. I think I asked you and everyone else to actually try to work with the dialog. I guess I will have to sit down and write a manual since you obviously haven't understood how it works. > (Remember that I don't ask for people to implement that.

If someone raises a problem, there are two ways to deal with it. It can either be ignored or the one who complains can be asked to explain his concerns. He/she might even have to face other opinions and have to defend his/her view. That doesn't help to decide if the complaint is valid or not (simply because any complaint is valid) but it helps to find out how important it is, where the actual problem lies and if there are ideas to solve it. If we are talking about problems, that's a good thing and I am not going to let you stop me doing that. So please, let's stop discussing the discussion and get back to something useful like talking down your problems. > Or, put difefretly: in what ways would a tetx entry with completion > conflict with being able to use the file dialogs other features with > the mouse (and then: with the keyboard). I have already explained that in all details.

Marc, it is you who's being idiotic here. You state that there are a number of people. What number? How large is that number compared to the number of happy users? We can hardly decide anything unless we know the answer to these questions.
