Yes, I’m pretty sure I missed a lot of places, but well between going out every day and working I couldn’t visit us much as I would like.

If you like archaelogical sites, Malta has some of the most amazing Neolithic ones, so I guess you missed those

Thanks for your comment, I’ll try to have a look at the file-roller code as you say to try to find something that can help me to get the file/files name that I need.

Not really, it is a shame I haven’t. But I’ve been in some really cool places. Comino, masax lock (not sure if it is written like that), sliema, valetta, st. julians, meliha, etc.
Nice place malta.

The explanation can be found in src/fr-window.c in file-roller source. It’s file-roller which uses xds.txt as an arbitrary filename. I don’t remember the specifics, but iirc it does that because it’s generally not a single file that is being dropped but several files/directories, so what they are interested in is the absolute path where to drop, not the actual filename. What I remember is probably not the real explanation, but I think it was something close to that.

That’s cool.. I’m from Malta too, although I don’t really go for the nightlife that much!

Have you visited our University?

In case of the print dialog, that’s more for the sake of consistency and familiarity, which are also very important to users. Anyway, the file dialog (the main reason for my reply) is considered lacking functionality by many people, including me.

And the fact is, many devels are lazy to “ifdef a bit,” so users end up with a foreign and often inferior dialog when using the app in Windows. I think that it makes sense in most cases to default to native dialogs in Windows. That, of course, requires some changes in GTK+.

I think the print dialogs are ok, why do you want different ones? In any case, you could always ifdef a bit and use the win32 native ones.
