Folder yes, filetype no, at least if we're talking about default settings. Of course, the dialogs should be able to save the defaults, if the user wants it. Filetype selection is an expert feature, the By extension is one of the best ways of using file extensions.

There's the bookmarks pane on the left. You can add your directory there for quick access. I am probably missing something. Where is this bookmark pane? Have a look at this (old) screenshot of the open dialog. http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots/gimp-open-dialog.png The Save dialog is very similar (without the preview pane). The bookmarks are on the left, under the Home, Desktop, Filesystem ... icons. You see an horizontal line, and folders that are in realioty bookmarks to folders. You can add and remove bookmarks with the add and remove buttons (the are active whem a folder is selected). Of course, the first time (when creating the bookmark) you need to click on the Browse for other folders cross to access this view. Best regards, Olivier. If I do File-Save as I get a dialogue box which allows me to save in Home Desktop Filesystem Mail? or the directory where the image came from The only way I can get to another directory is to navigate there, and navigate there every time.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2005-01-24 at 1103.58 -0800): the way the gimp-1.2 worked was that you type a few characters and it fills in the rest if this matches any file or directory located in the same directory. then it stops at the point where there are two or more choices. for example, you have a set of images all with the prefix ximi- (ximi-001.jpg ximi-002.jpg ximi-003.jpg ...). the old file selector would see the x and fill in the ximi- leaving the cursor there for you to fill in the next number. That happened when you hit tab. Now it tries to guess always, user requested or not. In some cases that does not only causes user fights, but seems to also cause slowdowns when the underlying file system is network based, cos it is guessing again and again (looking for more info to confirm this).
