Here's my vote to "Reintroduce location/path bar toggle button." I really need the location edit box in file dialogs, and those %$£% removed it. Now I can't simply paste the whole file path to open or save the file, no, I have to click, scroll, click, scroll for every path component, instead of just one paste. %^$#

I also don't understand this "brandmaking" by alienating as much people as possible. Depressive read.



As far as I recall, the shortcut is to use Ctrl-L in the file manager then drag the target you want into the file dialog. Could be wrong though, it's been a while since I've used Gnome.


I want the obvious GUI element not the secret keyboard shortcut.


Ran into that recently as well. Grueling.


hit ^l in nautilus.


It's CTRL+L on my keyboard. In addition to Nautilus and all the file dialogs it also works in browsers and even in Windows's "Explorer" file manager.

I use Gnome 3.4, though. Did the Gnome developers remove this shortcut from 3.6?


You can just start typing a path. Typing / shows an input field, and it has tab completion too.


> file dialogs

As in the "Open File" or "Save File" widgets in GTK3 (at least I assume it's GTK3 and not GNOME3).
