The dialog box has several options that can be checked, show hidden files, sort folders before files, etc. When I check these, the selection is not retained and I have to reselect these every time. By writing in the files, I mean that it doesn't have the field to manually write in files/folders. I don't see any option to turn that on. I also find the dialog box full of stuff on the left side that I don't like at the top. Similar to what KDE3 put into dialog boxes for some apps. None of these problems are killer flaws. I just wanted to mention that I see a problem that might be easy to fix (or not). I'm not complaining, I just thought it was worth pointing out. >I rarely use > gvim (almost always text mode vim) but I've just checked and the > selection for showing hidden files is remembered and seems to work OK > for me - I haven't noticed any particular performance problems. I only have 4GB of memory, if I have a lot of memory usage, like firefox, text scrolling is extremely slow and choppy. Yes, 4GB is pretty much nothing, but the laptop was really cheap.
