They're terrible. If GNOME has to be the basis for programs like Firefox,
surely they could avoid "different for different's sake" and use standard
selection dialogs. If I click on a file and want to save it in a particular
directory, it's minimum five clicks now and there's no way to visually
navigate the directory tree unless you have a great memory. The previous
version worked fine, and as far as I can tell the reason to change was
"let's be different". Button-based directory recall? Having to click a
second time to inform the program you want to use a different directory?
"File system" means "root of the file system"? You aren't PERMITTED to type
a directory path in, even if you know it? I thought this was *nix.
Why?
Yeah, I'm complaining a lot lately. Sorry.
Anyway, would it make sense to file a Debian bug or complain directly to de
Icaza or what? I'd love to just not use GNOME but as a Linux user, I don't
have a lot of good alternatives to FireFox for browsers. (Konqueror is
okay, but I've become dependent on stuff like FlashBlock and ImageZoom.) I
wonder if the current Netscape Navigator is any good, and would use FF
extensions.
