On Dec 14 Frederico Mena Quintero posted about having the file chooser
behave like the GtkFileChooserButton:
From http://primates.ximian.com/~federico/news.html :
After seing Jimbob's work with GtkFileChooserButton, I wonder if the
file chooser's own folders combo box in Save mode should be just like
his — that would allow us to remove the "Browse for other folders"
expander. If the user wants to select a folder that is not in his
bookmarks, he can choose the "Other..." item in the drop-down.
I've been thinking about this a bit and I think I agree. I find I keep
opening the "Save to Folder" menu, realizing the location I want isn't
on that list, then closing the "Save to Folder" menu, opening the
"Browse for other folders" menu, and choosing my location.
A question, though: would the "Other" option on the GtkFileChooserButton
open a new dialog, or expand the current dialog as it works now?
Thanks,
Steven Garrity
