Are you aware than in Vista, it looks different again?

What I want to say, yes, let us make it as familiar as possible, fix all issues and perhaps add something to make it better. But I would like to find some middle ground, having single layout for all XP/Vista/Gtk.


Yes, I'm aware and I have no intention to emulate that look and would strongly advice against it, simply because Vista FileSel dialogs have very poor functionality and ergonomics. They are poorly suited for anything except If you want to open a file from you documents folder. I don't know who designed them, but certainly did a poor job.

As for a middle ground, I would propose basically the same layout that you had, only with a nav bar on the right. As you can see in the first two images, the dialogs are almost identical, but with a few items moved around, a navbar and OS icons, it looks familiar. Also, I looked over GTK one, and just remembered that it also has not the best ergonomics: it is without a path input field and has few locations in it's quick bar. The good part is that you can add extra ones and also has a nice folder navigation toolbar on top.
