GTK 2.3, And The Emerging File Selector

Posted by timothy on from the frobnication dept.

Anon. writes "GTK 2.3 was released today, and initial (not finalized) screenshots of the new file selector are available here(1), here(2) and here(3). But do remember that the new file chooser is very much a work-in-progress, and the UI is not yet final."

    Ugh. What a hideous file selector. After installing and taking MacOS X Panther for a spin last night, I'm just amazed how backwards and unprofessional GTK's file selectors are.

    If it's not possible to compete with commercial operating systems, why not make a radically different file selector as an option. Imagine a command-line interface where the user 'cd's into the appropriate directory and does a 'put'? Of course, I'm of the mind that Evolution and Open Office should have a "vi" input mode.

    Michael.
