>From http://live.gnome.org/LibgnomeMustDie: "GnomeEntry * deprecated, but is the history-saving functionality replaced by anything?" So there is no history functionality for new widgets (and I don't know that anyone is working on it). This also applies to GnomeFileEntry - it's replaced by GtkFileChooserButton, which has no history at all, and a very different interface. If there was a decision to just go with GtkFileChooserButton and lose history-saving, then I'll happily volunteer to do the conversion. However, keeping a GnomeFileEntry-alike interface with history would probably be a lot of work, and I wouldn't know where to start. Opinions? Just how much do people need history? > Double bonus > marks for getting completion in there too! The default Gtk file dialog has completion built in, but obviously that doesn't complete against history, which I'm guessing is what you wanted?
