[Gimp-developer] A modest proposal...

2011-09-05 Thread Noel Stoutenburg
Friends,

...or maybe not, since I don't know the code involved. But may I suggest 
rearranging the left most pane in the dialog windows for the file 
operations open and save as?

Presently, when I use either operation, and want to access a location to 
which I have a bookmark, I'm obliged to scroll down the screen in the 
left most pane; what I'd propose is to move the bookmarks (if any exist) 
to the top of the pane, just below the recently used entry.

Or, have I missed a setting somewhere that would let me configure the 
order in which the items in this pane are listed?

Yes, it's stupid, but it's not gimp's fault. You can rebuild your gtk+
with this patch
http://mika.l3ib.org/patches/gtk-filechooser-only-File-System.diff or
modify it to your liking, the code is fairly obvious.

Thanks for that patch. I fixed this annoying mess of irrelevant 
bookmarks that I never requested spamming the interface in 
2.6.something but it no long applies cleanly. You saved me the effort of 
fixing it again. :)

Anyone who finds this annoying please bug report to gtk+ (rather than 
here) . I did open a bug and submitted the patch but it spat out as per 
usual .

If they realise this is unpopular maybe it will get some traction.

regards.
