Could we display that in a small window > alongside the file selector? Yes, we can do this with the external widget feature in the new file chooser. I will do this after the holidays so we can get some feedback on the actual text. I suggest we add some text about how to enable the old dialog also. I'll add the "show hidden files" also as suggested by other posters. But there seems to be no way to add a button that can enable the text input dialog,which is too bad. Jan D.
