Description cruiseoveride 2010-10-30 07:37:59 UTC 
Just a suggestion here.

I think GtkFileChooserWidget is too clumsy as-is to be used for anything other than GtkFileChooserDialog.

Could GtkFileChooserWidget be split into a GtkPlaces, GtkPathBar and GtkFilesystemView widget? Or the very least, expose API to easily enable/disable these components.

Yes, I've been wanting to split GtkFileChooser into reusable widgets
for some time.  Unfortunately I haven't had time to do so.

If you want to try your hand at this, I'd happily advise you on the
steps to take.  Some of the code is rather tangled (especially the
Places sidebar, whose code is just interspersed with
GtkFileChooserDefault), but it shouldn't be too hard to split it apart
into a clean, standalone widget.

I think it is fair to say that this won't happen
