Hi peoples,
I've incorporated some of the latest suggestions.
* Advanced options are now changed into a "Show Searchbar"
button. Not sure about the search part yet :).
* The dialogs are do now look more alike. Moved the
openfile-dialog part up to the same level as savefile-dialog.
There was no obvious reason for making it look different.
* Savedialog does not hide file-system. I personally like it
better that way. Prevents me from feeling blind sighted, and
making mistakes. As well as making the "Show Searchbar" button
work consistent on both dialogs.
* Accepting open or save is now done by a simple press of enter.
Take a look at the new "Purple sunrise" release.

I'm looking for someone who would like to take the architectural work
under his/her wings. As I'm currently not capable enough to do this. If
someone is willing to give it a go, make my day :).
Wish list:
* API to make the dialogs simple to use for applications.
* Nautilus views implementation. Building on the code already
available form that project.
* Implementing openfile-dialog search capabilities. Emblem
search, file filtering and search. Grep/word in file
capabilities. It does not hurt to be able to do things
multiple ways :).
* File completion and resent file and directory drop down boxen.
Ok that is about it,
MM
