Description Stanislav Brabec 2005-04-06 12:34:57 UTC
Version details: gtk+-2.6.4
Distribution/Version: SuSE Linux 9.3

Suppose you have a deep directory opened in Nautilus and you want to load/save
file from there.

File selector has only two droppable areas - Name: for save dialog (which drops
string containing file:// and %20 instead of spaces, which is not accepted) and
directory bookmarks.

There is only one chance to quick change to this directory:
- Add it to bookmarks
- Click to it
- Remove it from bookmarks

It is complicated and non-intuitive.

Proposal:

Dropping directory to file selection (or fallback to all areas except bookmarks
and Name:) should change the directory.

Dropping file to file selection should change the directory and fill the Name:.

Dropping file to Name: should properly fill the name, including special
characters in the file path.
