It would be rather off-topic here so I suggest you read the relevant archives. The fact that these discussions have very often been rather hostile has not helped at all. The developers responsible for the new file chooser widget have done a very good job at implementing the widget the way it has been planned a good while ago. Back then would have been the right time to complain. Complaining now is silly and counter-productive. What can be done right now is to attach patches to the many bug-reports in Bugzilla that ask for improvements to the widget. So far the developers have shown that they are very willing to incorporate such changes and the behaviour of the file-chooser widget is constantly being improved. Another thing that helps a lot is to learn how to work with the new file chooser. The screenshots that Carol has shown around, very clearly show that she hasn't learned to use the new widget yet. If she would start to make use of bookmarks (the left pane) she might find the widget less useless than it appears to her now. This discussion doesn't belong here. I told people what to do if you want to see the dialog improved. End of discussion!
