Hi, few question that I could not find an answer for via Google or
Stack Overflow, nor via the provided Gnome documentation. But I guess
you developers would know:
How can I configure the file chooser?
The settings should affect all applications of the user who makes the
configuration (i.e., I'm not asking for system-wide changes).
I'm looking in particular for the following settings:
* Always open in a mode where I can paste a file name into a text
field, or can start typing a path (with tab-completion)
Currently (e.g., with GIMP 2.10.0) it always opens in Recently
Used mode, so I have to switch to one of the other "Places" and
then hit Ctrl-L. I don't even want to hit Ctrl-L.
* When entering a path (Firefox), sometimes I see completion happen
only when I hit Tab, and sometimes it just happens automatically
(which is extremely annoying). This behaviour seems to change
"automatically". At least I don't know how to fix this to
complete only when I hit Tab.
* When I change the File Chooser's window size, or toggle visibility
of hidden files, please don't remember these settings. I want
them temporary.
* I cannot remove some entries from the "Places" list. How can I
change this? Even better: Is there a way to show a nice file
system tree instead of this "places" thing?
I'm interested in a solution for version 3 of this Gnome/Gtk thing.
I'd be happy to make these changes in a text editor or at least from
the command line (which I'm both familiar with), so I can back them up
nicely and script deployment. Anyways, I'm not running a "Desktop
Environment" (and I don't want to).
Cheers
Stefan
