The GTK+ 2.4 file-chooser already allows you to type in a filename after you press Ctrl-L. In GTK+-2.6 however you just start typing and navigate to the file using the typeahead feature of the treeview. You will only sometimes need to use the Ctrl-L popup. That's terribly obvious :-( If the entry box isn't visible, how is anyone to know that you can actually do this? -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
