Not really. This is not the first or the last one fixing horrible behavior in the default file picker.
Most of the time there's a deliberate reason the picker was designed this way, and the GNOME team won't accept your patch.
I personally stopped contributing to GTK very late in the GTK 2 series with very similar problems, and stopped using GTK in my projects since GTK 3.
GTK used to be my favorite toolkit back in the day.
- type0 6y agoI saddens me that GNOME and GTK are so hostile to new or inexperienced contributors, most of the time the development happens in a GNOME/GTK Cabal; I heard about but couldn't believe it until I saw their responces myself. I really is worse than that and puts a stain on the whole Linux open source movement (if you can even call it that).
- dleslie 6y agoThey're hostile to users who post bugs! It's an absolutely toxic developer community who rejects any reflection upon the quality of their product that could somehow indicate that there exists problems with their design vision. It doesn't matter that they've made the UI harder to use for those with ability concerns, or that their market share is dwindling, or that they've steadily lost developers for most of a decade. Everyone should give up and move on; I use MATE and am happy, others like Plasma and Xfce. There's plenty of vastly superior DEs with healthier developer attitudes.
