I've been collecting the wishes and problems regarding the file selector, making sure that the GTK+ developers are aware of the problem and even patching the file selector myself. We have also done quite some changes to the gimp file dialogs since the switch to the new GtkFileChooser widget. If you want to suggest that I would be ignoring the complaints, I really don't know what you've been smoking. > If you want details then "exactly as in gtk+-1.0" should suffice, > because that dialog simply worked.

Perhaps you should stop looking at the dialog and just blindly enter paths. It works surprisingly well. > What I simply find annoying is this "there is no problem" > attitude.

The new file chooser has bugs and they need to be fixed. Asking us to revert to the old widget is however not an option.

I do accept that but I would like people to point out exactly what problems they have instead of just saying that they dislike the new dialogs. Without detailed complaints we can't do anything to improve the situation.

Hi, Bill Kendrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'd love it if Gimp used KDE's file dialogs.

The new GTK+ file-chooser was designed in a way that allows for platform-specific implementations. If you really think that the file-chooser needs to be integrated better with KDE, then you can write a KDE-specific GtkFileChooser implementation. There is nothing that would have to be changed in GIMP. And, you aren't seriously trying to argue that the new GtkFileChooser would be worse than the old file selection widget, are you? That used to be the case with the early implementations but certainly not with the latest GTK+ 2.6 releases. The file dialog is getting better and better with each release.
