Goodies. That sounds like an "equal amount of clicks" operation.
But can be be done per *today*?

I assume the project is not beyond critique since I found the address to this
mailing list at the HIG page. Feedback was explicitly encuraged. So I keep
presenting problems. And you keep presenting possible solutions.
Whats the "pretty please" about?

The fact is that the new filechoose was released without a lot of basic
functionality. Someone said "less is more", when refering to the text widget
being removed. Reminds me of an old fairy tale..."The Emperor's New Clothes".
Even a child knows it: Less is just less.
