You can do that in all treeviews (at least all treeviews that set a search column). This is something that the user has to be told once but since it's available all over the place, that shouldn't be much of a problem. Every other file dialog I've ever seen has a visible entry for typing in a filename. It's not clear to me why there's any advantage at all to not having it visible. It just seems like a gratuitous incompatibility. -- 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
