Hi,
Currently UIUtilsFuncs contain ui_path_box_new(), so a
file-chooser-dialog button can be created programatically in a plugin.
But there's no ui_setup_open_button_callback(), so it's impossible to
load such a button from a .glade file and setup it, as in Geany.
geanyprj uses ui_path_box_new(), and other plugins (saveactions,
spellcheck, debugger, ...) create file-chooser-dialog buttons manually,
so they seem common. I'm writing a new plugin, and would prefer to
use .glade for the interface as much as possible (and practical).
IMO, all this path box stuff should be deprecated in favour of the widget
provided by the toolkit (GtkFileChooserButton). Using custom stuff like this
makes Geany non-standard amongst other GTK+ programs and it doesn't
provide the flexibility of the already provided widget, namely being a real
GtkWidget and integration with Glade.
On the other hand, I also wouldn't be opposed to a proper implementation of
a real custom GtkWidget subclass (ex. GeanyPathBox) that can be used in
Glade and otherwise conveniently, since I tend to find the text box next to
the button to be more user-friendly than the widget currently provided by
the toolkit for this purpose.
It would be fine to clean up, so long as the new version works on the
oldest GTK we support.

My $0.02, having thought about this before while porting to Glade and having
previously written a GeanyPathBox widget for this use.
Cheers,
