Description Andrés G. Aragoneses (IRC: knocte) 2010-02-15 12:03:05 UTC 
I've tried to search for a duplicate but I was amazed I didn't find it. (I used this search: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;short_desc=browse;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr;component=GtkFileChooser;product=gtk%2B )

When the GtkFileChooser pops up, it's very useful to be able to access some folder externally, having a new contextual menu called "Browse in new window".

The equivalent dialog in MS Windows has this feature and is extremely useful.

We have "Open with file manager" now
