File Open/Save/Insert Dialogs
OOo provides own file open, save and insert dialogs. Those dialogs are available on all platforms. These dialogs allow OOo to load/save files using different protocols like WebDav. This does not work with system dialogs due to limitations of these dialogs.
Version 1
First version will only introduce 'Places'. Places are always shown and could be vertically resized.
- Places
- List of places is not hierarchical.
- Icons are taken from the system.
- Add own places via context menu.
- Remove own places via context menu.
- Split window to resize 'Places' area.
- Back button to go back to previous place/directory.
- General User Interface
- Decreased spacing above and below path/back, up one level, new folder buttons.
- Fixed alignment issues within current dialog. (DDLBs and Open, Cancel, Save buttons.)
- Removed ':' in labels.
- Increase vertical spacing between files and folders.
- Dialog itself is resizeable. Initial size 700*445

- Path shows icon of current place and a drop down with a list of all available places. (show only if places are hidden?)
- Content:
- Recent documents (complete list)
- Recent places (?)
- Standard places of the current platform
- plus additional ones (i.e. configured by extensions)

New dialog supports places. Places are links to folders on the local or a remote systems (i.e. via WebDav). This allows an easy access to all these places in OOo.
