Re: [Usability] File Dialog Add/Remove Places Mockup

[David Christian Berg <david sipsolutions net>]

Hey!

Frankly, if only the add button was _only_ active, when one can actually
add bookmark (I think it should be disabled, when the places list is
active) and had a bookmark icon, instead of a plus, I think this would
really be enough.
I don't like the idea of the icons changing. This doesn't seem to be
more discoverable to me.
The other idea with the buttons in between seems quite tempting.
However, I don't think the image of _moving_ something is what we should
promote (hence now arrow. We should use the bookmarks concept of
browsers. So I definitely see the "Places" or "Bookmarks" header in that
list. That explains.

Hmm, I must getting this idea: I know it's not quite easy to do in GTK,
but why not have to icons aligned right in the header: One bookmark icon
and one trash icon. One is active, when one can add a bookmark, the
other one, if one is selected and you can delete it.

Just my two cent.

Take care!
