GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 341132
File save-as dialog allways opens with closed 'browse folder'
Last modified: 2007-01-25 20:12:39 UTC
a) either: allways open the 'browse folder' part of the dialog b) or: allways open this dialog in the way it was left the last time c) or: make it somehow configurable, how the dialog is opened Reasoning: When I like to save a file, I concentrate on this job. I should have most options available immediately - a big window with a lot of information, and not x steps to go. I'm saving 10 - 50 files per day, and allways I have to click this silly option. Most people who don't need this option aren't disturbed, if the browse folder part is allways open. Other information: I had to choose one application where the bug belongs, but most programs use the same 'save-as-dialog' - it isn't a gedit - specific bug, but an overall-gnome-bug. I've seen similar bug-reports, but they had an other main focus, so I opened a new one. Thank you. Perhaps I missed the place to make the right decision where to place it.
Moving to gtk+
It seems this bug is related to bug #153828
I agree. Open for more than 25 months. Outsch!
