I don't exactly remember either. My main crib with the Gtk chooser location bar is that it is very easy to get confused with where exactly you are in the directory tree. Compare: * Read the name of the last button With * Scan the buttons (and scroll if necessary) * Locate the button in the pressed state. * Read the label of that button. IAC, I don't think we should blindly assume that the GTK folks are somehow smarter than us. Consistency should be a criteria only when basic usability of all options has been established. To put it crudely, why screw something up just because the GTK guys have screwed it up already. -- b _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
