We all understood this already. It doesn't change the point though that whatever answer was given to whatever GIMP developer about the rationales of the design of the new file chooser widget is not a question that is interesting to our users, nor do any of the GIMP developers really care. It may be an interesting question for Carol but she got to live with whatever answer she has been given and stop harassing everyone for it. Actually I doubt that anyone but Carol is actually surprised about the answer. This topic has been discussed so many times that of course anyone involved has by now made up an answer that is tries to stop the discussion from coming up again. Basically there isn't much that has not yet been said about the new widget. What needs to be done now is to improve it. Of course in order to improve it, you first need to understand the reasons behind the design choices that have been made. There is however plenty of answers on this subject in various mailing list archives and web-pages (such as this one: http://www.gnome.org/~seth/designs/filechooser-spec/). The new file-chooser gives plenty of room for improvements and I am the first one to vote for the addition of a filename entry to it. The way that Carol "discusses" this topic is however a guaranteed way to drive away each and every developer who might be capable of doing such a change.
