A modest proposal...

Friends,

...or maybe not, since I don't know the code involved. But may I suggest rearranging the left most pane in the dialog windows for the file operations "open" and "save as"?

Presently, when I use either operation, and want to access a location to which I have a bookmark, I'm obliged to scroll down the screen in the left most pane; what I'd propose is to move the bookmarks (if any exist) to the top of the pane, just below the "recently used" entry.

Or, have I missed a setting somewhere that would let me configure the order in which the items in this pane are listed?

Yes, it's stupid, but it's not gimp's fault. You can rebuild your gtk+ with this patch
http://mika.l3ib.org/patches/gtk-filechooser-only-File-System.diff or modify it to your liking, the code is fairly obvious.

Thanks for that patch. I fixed this annoying mess of irrelevant "bookmarks" that I never requested spamming the interface in 2.6.something but it no long applies cleanly. You saved me the effort of fixing it again. :)

Anyone who finds this annoying please bug report to gtk+ (rather than here) . I did open a bug and submitted the patch but it spat out as per usual .

If they realise this is unpopular maybe it will get some traction.

regards.
