Dialog layouts in 2.2pre1

It is a secret conspiracy to kill off the file chooser

I read about that...

Dialog layouts in 2.2pre1

 I haven't yet checked out 2.2, i hope i soon will. But any way i have this idea, i think i must post to the gtk team. Yet i am posting it here too, if GIMP can temporarily achieve at implementing this idea. What about a button on the dialog which switches between the "Good old" dialog box and the "New cool" dialog box. It may also have a shortcut key and an option included in the gimp's preferences dialog about which should be default.

Would you mind to explain what's the "Good old" dialog box and the "New cool" dialog box? If you are talking about the file-chooser then the answer is that it would not be feasible to do this. The APIs of the two widgets differ. It's not a matter of look and feel. It's a completely rewritten widget with a completely different API and lots of different functionality. Also I don't see any advantage in doing what you suggest. It would only introduce inconsistency and bloat.
