Enter path in dialogs
#2
  • When you enter the dialog, it is set to Recent files so you have no other choice but the list of recent files/directories
  • If you click on Search on the left, you get an entry field at the top. You can enter (part of) a file name and it will list all matching files in you user files in the widget below (this can take a while...)
  • If you click on anything else on the left (so, a path to a directory), the path id displayed at the top with a pencil icon at the extreme left. If you click that icon an entry field appears and if you paste in it
    • a file path:  the file is opened directly
    • a directory: the directory contents are shown
  • In all cases, if you drag & drop an object from your file explorer to the the big list widget:
    • a file: the parent directory contents are shown and the file is pre-selected
    • a directory: the directory contents are shown
(this is how it behaves on Linux but IIRC the Windows behavior isn't very different).
