https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228318 Summary: gnome filepicker practically unusable Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mhopf@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: seife@novell.com I only noticed recently that the gnome filepicker changed, because the mechanism for selecting the firefox internal filechooser has changed with 2.0 (see bug #228252). Now the new dialog is a usability nightmare. One example is that in the open dialog you have to explicitly enable the textarea in order to be able to just type in a file name. The buttons in the top of the screen representing the different path elements do not look like they represent a path, but rather a set of actions. Even worse is the save dialog. It doesn't even show you the path where something is saved by default, let alone choose it! You have to *explicitly* enable the directory chooser (Browse for other folders) - but why? Is it really so unusual to save something outside the current directory? And why can't I select the save folder from the dropdown menu any longer if I open up the directory chooser? What does the icon next to the path (<) actually do? Other than that I have my typical complaints like the dialog is wasting lots of space, default line distance is too high for the selection box, default font too large, important information like file sizes is hidden, missing icons like for "create folder", no delete or rename functionality (at least I can't find any), but I guess this is due to the minimalistic design issue and at least consistent. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
