i upgraded from 1.4 to 2.4 and i am still a bit unhappy with the fileselect box (maybe i am missing something :-))
For example, if i want to open a file with gedit, which is on an automounted directory, i cannot browse the directory.
There is no way to type the directory name and hit a "filter" button to view the contents.
Also, sometimes it's just easier to type the directory name (maybe even with cut/paste form a different window) than to click may way through the directory tree.
Other fileselect boxes (motif, amaya, ... ) have a "filter" button.
I just can't imagine that the Gnome fileselect box is that limited in functionality. Am i missing something?
Thanks for any insight,
