New style file open/save dialogs?

[vlevi]

What is the benefit of this dialog box?
I don't use the multiple connections option, so I think, nothing is better than the regular windows dialog, but I think it is worse.
for example, in list view, I don't see the full file name, only 8-10 characters.
please add an option to use the standard file open/save dialog, instead of the new one.

If you let us know how it is worse than the standard file dialog, we can enhance it. We'll check out the list view size.

Along with the fonts being smaller, the new dialog box appears a bit slower to load file names, including if you start typing the filename in the text box. It's not terrible, but there's a noticeable delay, even on a fast machine like mine.

I was trying to load a SQL script, so it's filtering to *.sql;*.sql;*.prc. If I have it show all file types, it's really pretty sluggish to return values as you type into the File Name text box.

Yes, I can confirm, that is is much slower than the older one. It is actually too slow, if you are used to the old one.

And there is an serious issue with the focus.
Usually I paste(from clipboard) the path/filename (derived/copied from a source control system) either into the Open or SaveAs dialoge, which works perfectly fine in the old version.

The new version does not put the focus in the Filename textbox, and it does not preselect it's current content. So you need an additional click.

We'll check it out.
