GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300273
Open File Dialog is Slow and Unwieldy
Last modified: 2005-04-19 18:48:28 UTC
Reproduce: * initiate a file transfer * try to quickly navigate to different areas of your computer What's Wrong: The find as you type (good) does not let you enter a path (bad). Power win32 users aren't too afraid of the command line, and can quickly find files by typing in a semi-path, ie c:\path\to\*.jpg. This dialog should provide at least the same base level of functionality that standard windows open dialogs do. How to fix: * Find as you type is present in the UI, so you can focus it and you know you can find things (currently being hidden, I didn't even realise you could type into it for months) * Text input takes regexp / simple wildcards and paths to display files. * Shortcuts to my documents/my pictures/ etc etc etc Other information: Original Filing: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1180626&group_id=235
