Actually I was trying to write "the lack of an entry widget" but at
the same time I was time thinking how I liked the old folder pane and
my fingers typed that then. I am aware that there's a folder mode and
I think I can live with the mixed folder/file view so that's not my
point. I do miss the entry however and I don't think that the very
well hidden Ctrl-L feature is an acceptable solution.
