The State Of The GTK+ File Selector

Posted by timothy on from the niggly-details dept.

Anonymous BillyGoat writes "The next stable release of GTK+ (from the 2.4x series) will have a new file selector, and of recent, a lot of activity has been going on around that. One of the GNOME artmasters, Tigert, has released a mockup of the new file selector and the GTK developers are busy working towards that. Meanwhile the people from OSNews have some other ideas, while an OSNews reader has made even better mockups."

    This is not meant as a troll, although I know it will be read as such by some.

  2. Bigger question by Overly+Critical+Guy · · Score: 1, Troll

    Doesn't the fact that a new Linux file selector dialog box becomes headline news really illustrate the state of the Linux GUI? I mean, that's like 4 years behind all the other GUI operating systems. What was the holdup?
