[Evolution-hackers] Return back folder remember for Open/Save dialog

2012-07-02 Thread Milan Crha
Hi,
I propose to return back the feature of remembering last used folder for
Open/Save dialogs, which was removed recently [1]. I follow the
duplicate bug and people are very unhappy with the gtk+ feature of
Recently used, not talking that this thing doesn't make sense in
evolution. It's not that many code for evolution, and costs absolutely
no maintenance, but gives a very nice feature for Evolution users (I
dislike current behaviour too, because I rarely want to import the same
file multiple times (not taking that the file is usually missing in the
list of recently used anyway, or is hard to find there)), thus, I
believe, it'll be much better if the feature of remembering the last
used folder will be returned back.

Is there any objection? If not, then I'll revert the mentioned commit in
sources next week or so.
Bye,
Milan

Please don't.  GTK+ claims to handle this now, we should defer to them
so our Open/Save dialogs behave consistently with other GTK+ apps.  If
the policy they've chosen is unpopular, that's their problem to deal
with.  Please do not override it.

 Well, they do not do it right, and this kind of outsourcing proved to
 be problematic in the past, thus why to rely on something nonworking
 with not our fault, ask them to fix it explanation? I always thought
 we do software for people, not people for software.

Consistency with other GTK+ applications is more important.

If GtkFileChooser has chosen a bad policy, try and open a discussion
with Federico about it.  Don't just circumvent the policy.  I would
consider that a regression.
