Not counting GTK+/Gimp developers, I know of only 2 people who prefer the new dialogs. The responses from others ranged from "old one was better" to "get me the head of whoever designed this" (this one came from a developer that uses GTK+ in his application, and who implemented the native Win32 dialogs in his program when running on windows). I remember the disappointment I felt when I first saw the hyped new file open dialog box, when it was nothing I expected it to be given what an improvement it was supposed to be. BTW, about bookmarks - they'd be much more usable if they appeared above the predefined items, not on bottom (on Windows, there's easily 10-20 of these). -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
