Right-click and select "Show Hidden Files" from the menu. Yes, there should be a way to globally enable this. IIRC there's a bug report on this for quite a while. Someone just needs to find some time (30 minutes should be more than enough) to add this to GtkSettings. But obviously noone cares enough to contribute such a patch. > Another one: who came up with the retarded idea of "Browse for other > folders"? Just show the damn thing already!

If you started to use the bookmarks feature, it is likely that you will not need to use the folders list for about 95% of your file dialog usage. That is my experience at least. > One minor thing: I noticed that Alt-Up goes to the parent directory. > I'd give Backspace the same behaviour, following popular OS usage. Backspace is already bound to "up-folder". It is however probably been eaten by another widget that gets the key-press first.

Your user model is obviously different than mine because I very much prefer the new file-chooser over the old one. The problem is to find something that works well for the majority of GTK+ users and I believe that the new file-chooser dialog does a pretty good job at this. But of course it would need some research to find out. Sven _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
