Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Evolution (Gnome?)
[image|http://www.chapman-anderson.org/stuff/filepicker.png||||]

Very similar to Panther, except it uses directory buttons instead of showing them all on the screen, stacked horizontally. The "Add" button adds directories to the bottom quickpick section, under the mounted drives.

I prefer the Gnomish way here. Also, the Panther directory panels aren't resizable. This causes extreme pain with long file names.

Edit: According to Peter, they are sizable. You just can't grab anywhere on the separator. Sucktitude lessened, but not entirely abolished.

Use P2P for legitimate purposes!
New I think that's actually GTK-ish.
I see it in the Gimp 2.2 here on XP.

The Panther one is quite NeXT-ish. (And WindowMaker does similar things the same way.)

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New Gimp doesn't look anything like that on Linux
Gimp's dialog looks more like the Windows one. This is Gimp 2.0.6, however.

That's VERY like an OS X file selector, innit?

Like this one:

New Only from the standpoint of the extra panel
All of the Linux and Windows dialogs have this in common: as you navigate, the contents of the panel(s) changes. On Panther, you get new panels.

The bit that struck me with the Evolution dialog was the left panel: drives on the top, user-defined locations on the bottom.

New Same diff.
You don't get the bottom scroll bar and extra panels on the Gimp one.
