RE: FileChooserDialog and FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE

["Foster, Gareth" <gareth foster siemens com>]

Is this just to set the type of file output? If so, maybe you could have an
export dialog like the gimp does, where you set the file type before you see
the file chooser? Or perhaps you could have a dialog to change the default
save format (per document, or globally for your app).

Just a few thoughts anyway.

Cheers!

Hmm, it's more common to have a whole separate "File Format" combobox.

Using the filters in the save browser is really rather a fringe use-case
anyhow: finding files of the same type to save over.  In general, the
user is only interested in navigating to a directory and then typing
their new filename.

If you rely on the filter combo, then you rely on expanding the save
dialog, which diminishes its elegance somewhat.
