Re: [Gimp-developer] gtk file choser widget
On Wed, Jun 22, 2005 at 01:49:40PM +0200, Michael Thaler wrote: But unfortunately the save as... dialog does not. So everytime I save a rescaled image I have to click on the home directory button and then click until I am in the correct directory. For me it would really be an enhancement if gimp would also remember the directory where pictures are saved with save as. (I know that I can create bookmarks, but I would still prefer that gimp would remember the directory I saved the last image to, because this would save one click). This covers, exactly, one of my biggest problems with the recent Gimp. (I use 2.2.0 on Windows XP at my work.) I also find it quite annoying that there is no line edit widget where you can enter the path. In this respect the old gtk file choser widget worked very well (it probably was one of the best) and the new one completely sucks. I really don't understand why the gtk developers removed it. Why is something removed that is apparently useful to a lot of people and is no problem for someone who does not want to use it? I agree here, as well. Personally, the new gtk file choser widget is the number one reason I try not to use gtk apps. Gimp is the _only_ GTK app that I use. The only other non-KDE GUI applications I use on a regular basis (at home on Linux) are Mozilla (but only when I want to use Google Maps, otherwise I use Konqueror) and xview. (Well, there are games, too, but most are SDL-based.) Another data point: my wife was happily using GNOME 1.2 and when we upgraded here to GNOME 2.0, it only lasted about a day. I asked if she'd like to try KDE, since it seemed to make more sense. She's been using it ever since. (She uses Gimp a lot, as well as Firefox and Gthumb. I'll have to ask what her feelings are on the recent file chooser interface in Gimp.) -- -bill! Linux vs Windows studies can be divided into: [EMAIL PROTECTED]1.

At work, on WinXP, I have a number of 'necessary' windows open at all time, to do cellphone game development: My project folder The Visual Studio window A build directory A target directory for dragging-and-dropping builds WinCVS Email client That's already cluttered enough, and WinXP's lack of usable virtual desktops[*] makes it even more annoying to try to open more windows. Especially since I can't tell Gimp Stay above other windows. And even if I could, it would be irritating if a window full of files just HAPPENED to appear 'under' the Gimp window. So yeah, I almost ALWAYS use File-Open, and almost never use drag-n-drop. [*] I've tried the Microsoft PowerToy for virtual desktops. It's utterly useless. Doubly-so since it (1) rearranges the window listing in the taskbar, and (2) Visual Studio is a piece of crap, and does stuff like unminimize when you switch between virtual desktops. The file open dialog should really only be used if the file isn't readily selected elsewhere which should be rather unlikely if you are working in a document oriented way. 99% of the time, even if I'm just manipulating digital photos, I open all of the files at once. I find it easier to with an Open dialog than it is with either Windows' file explorer or the Konqueror file manager. I mean, maybe it's because I'm stuck at 1024x768, but I just don't have lots of room for dragging and dropping files from file manager windows. *shrug* Also, you might want to explain bookmarks to your wife. She might find the dialog a lot more usable then. The bookmarks are okay, until you end up having 5 different folders called bitmaps, and it's impossible to tell which project folder it's from. (I use fairly standardized folder heirarchies and makefiles at work, so every game has a bitmaps folder.) Bookmarking more than one folder with a particular name causes confusion, since you can't tell which is which. Perhaps I should post a wishlist item to Gimp's bug tracker. :^) When there are multiple bookmarks pointing to folders with the same name, show more context. e.g.: supergame\bitmaps testapp\bitmaps -- -bill!
