You could file a wish list bug against the directory chooser widget, or you could add your bookmark to the left hand pane by right clicking and selecting "Add Entry..."

Again, you could file a wish list bug against the widget, but I'd suspect it would be tagged won't fix. But I'm not the one who makes that decision, so I could be wrong. Regarding renaming or removing single files, how would you know which file you're renaming or removing? I mean, which of the files that you're saving? That's the reason the directory chooser widget was chosen: since there is more than one file to be saved, it can't let you rename them. If you want to rename as you save, select them one at a time (by right clicking on the attachment) and choose save as. This will allow you to use your favorites folders, as well as see files, rename files, etc. But I guess you already know that, based upon your "2 or more attachments" observation. > Since I use this feature up to several times a day, this loss of > productivity really annoys me. > > Is there a switch to enforce getting a file selector? > If not: Would this be more a wishlist item or a minor/normal bug? > Are there any other people who dislike the new 'feature'? > > Regards, Tim Out of curiosity, what did it work like before?
