searching inside the GtkFileChooser

Some time ago I read that hackers should try not to use the terminal for a time and doing every task via graphical applications. I've realized that I'm really used to do this when opening a file:

So if I want to use only UI apps, I need this patch for adding search to GtkFileChooser (it is against gtk-2-4 brach because I'm very lazy). It uses the gedit output window again, and I'm finding it very useful. Maybe the UI part is not good, but what do you think about the whole stuff?

Another crazy Fernando (like me) to rule the Linux world!. ;-)

I agree with you, and how come this wasn't added to Gnome yet? (i'm running Fedora Core 6).

Also, I have another comment: Gnome's File Requester uses VERTICAL SPACE VERY POORLY!.

No other FIle Requester has yet matched the flexibility I had with the X-File OS/2 WPS enhancement to the standard file requester...

In other words... the file listing should be a LONG column, showing the maximum number of files as possible, using ALL vertical space. Everything else should be around it!.

I'd hack the file requester if I knew enough c/c++, but I don't.
