Re: [Usability]Gnome file dialogs

[Aschwin van der Woude <aschwin van der woude creanor com>]

I find 'Show Locationbar' a more fitting name than 'Show Searchbar'

Somehow I like to have the 'locations' as a sidebar, but it gets to
crowded with the folder-sidebar.

Perhaps have them combined as is in the 'evolution' button-(side)bar.
Or maybe as in the nautilus side-bars. 
I don't what would be better, but somehow I would like to have both
(tree and shortcuts) of them easily usable.
I like the short-cut bar because of the icons, they are in my opinion
easier to use, easier to target, whatever.

Just my two cents,

Aschwin
