This will save me one > click each time :-) IMHO it would be a lot more useful if, instead of being always opened, the directory browser would get the keyboard focus if it is opened using the Alt-B mnemonic. That would help saving a few more clicks than what we could achieve by opening the directory browser by default.

Ok. Maybe I was not clear. I work in a different application, in a directory based on a project. That application generates a image file that I need to edit. I open The Gimp, navigate to that directory, do the edit, then I save the file in a different location. This means that each time I open The Gimp, I am using different directories. It makes no sense add a favourite each time, as I may only use that directory once. However, for me, it would make sense to have the directory selector expanded each time I open the file dialog. This will save me one click each time :-) I will say, that this is really a very small irritation. Now that I have found out how to 'dock' dialogs into one window, I am much happier using The Gimp. The Gimp rocks! -- Philip Stubbs ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Why not temporarily add those directories to the list of bookmarks?

You are aware that you just need to enter the file extension? There's really no need to use the file type list except for some almost pathological use cases.

Maybe I am using it wrong, but I only use gimp on ocasions. However, when I do, I am normally working in a number of different directories, and they can change each time I use the gimp, so a default list does not help. Also, I need to generate different formats, so I find the file type part usefull. I do like the new file dialog. It would just be better for me to be maximised all the time.

I'd like to know why you have to expand it every time you use it. If you can show that this is indeed needed, then we would have to do something about it. The collapsed parts of the dialog are supposed to be only rarely used. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Default mode for file dialog
How do I set the default mode for the file dialog. I have to expand the dialog every time I use it, and it is getting a little annoying. I am using Gimp 2.2.4 on Windows XP.
