The default file browser that appears when, for example, I try to open a file from Firefox is awful. I get the same file selector for most applications now, it's a fairly recent 'imporvement', I've only had since I upgraded to Slackware 11.
The whole thing is decidedly counter-intuitive, for me at least. There's no sort of helpful form to it. Across the top the directory hierarchy is a row of buttons, it took me a while before I realised it *was* the directory hierarchy.
At the left the window with directory names in it - what's it for?
Why is "/" called "File System", "File System" doesn't mean root to me.
It's all *HORRIBLE*! :-)
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change this? (I'm running fvwm2 as my Window Manager by the way).
