The resulting file dialog is somewhat different but not same as kdialog. For example, in the kdialog window opened from chromium, if I click on the drop down where the directory name is displayed, it shows a list of directories into which files were stored recently. This feature is very useful. However, after setting the ui.platform_file_picket to false, the directories listed under "Look in:" are just directories under the same tree. For example, they are as below /home/username/dir1/dir2/dir3 /home/username/dir1/dir2/ /home/username/dir1/ /home/username/ /home / This is rarely useful for me and involves multiple clicks before I get to the correct destination directory. -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
