Is it possible to somehow have the Save dialog store this directory iin some form of history, so I could easily select it?

There's the bookmarks pane on the left. You can add your directory there for quick access.

In the file opening dialog press "Add" button when the desired directory is selected. Afterwards you can quickly access this directory.

I am probably missing something.

Where is this bookmark pane?

If I do File->Save as I get a dialogue box which allows me to save in

Home Desktop
Filesystem
Mail?
or the directory where the image came from

The only way I can get to another directory is to navigate there, and navigate there every time.

Hello,

I use the Gimp to take files from one directory (raw photos), process them, and save them into another directory (photos for sending/publishing/printing/etc).

Hi,

In gimp 2.2 you can bookmark both directorys (clicking on the + button, at botton left), and navigate from one to the other with two clicks.

Have a look at this (old) screenshot of the open dialog. http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots/gimp-open-dialog.png

The Save dialog is very similar (without the preview pane). The bookmarks are on the left, under the Home, Desktop, Filesystem ... icons. You see an horizontal line, and folders that are in realioty bookmarks to folders. You can add and remove bookmarks with the add and remove buttons (the are active whem a folder is selected).

Of course, the first time (when creating the bookmark) you need to click on the "Browse for other folders" cross to access this view.

Best regards,

Olivier.

Indeed.

It is left to the file-list. In the Save dialog, it is hidden in the "Browse for other folders" section but of course these bookmarks are shared between Open and Save dialogs (in all GTK+ applications).

Could one somehow make the "browse for other folders" section open by default?

I will probably say a stupid thing here, but I think it would go against the HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) of Gnome: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/principles-simplicity.html

Olivier.

PS: (My personal opinion is that the HIG has to be changed and the options of filetype and location should be visible.)

Yes - GIMP as one of the leading GTK+ apps should be able define some things of the HIG.

options of filetype and location should be visible.)

Folder yes, filetype no, at least if we're talking about default settings. Of course, the dialogs should be able to save the defaults, if the user wants it.

Filetype selection is an expert feature, the "By extension" is one of the best ways of using file extensions.
