comparison of new Nautilus-as-filechooser (left) and the current GTK4 filechooser (right)

(the former being in a GNOME OS VM, the latter not in the VM, but positioned over top of it)

#GTK #GNOME #LibAdwaita

On the left, a filechooser dialog for saving a web page. The dialog is nearly identical in appearance to the Nautilus file manager; at the bottom of the main view is a drop-down to select file type, a text entry for the name of the file, and then a Save button. On the right is the current GTK4 filechooser dialog. The file type selection is in the bottom-right corner, and the text entry is on top above the path bar, with a Cancel button to its left and a Save button to the right.

@Akzel looking amazing honestly!

@Akzel I definitely prefer that "x" over the "close" button. A huge UX improvement

@Akzel the filename bit is a bit.. off? It feels just looking at it, wrong. I'd expect a text edit field, where I can quickly click or highlight, rename and save, without hitting an edit button, moving the cursor again, etc... I'd have to use it tbh. It looks pretty, yet unusably extra.

@Akzel hm, i don’t know, Nautilus as a file chooser feels… odd, the current gtk4 chooser feels more natural and straightforward in that regard
