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.

File Open

Buttons
- Back button with history
- Up one level
- New folder
- Organize
  - New folder
  - On/off Places
  - On/off Previe
  - Rename
  - Delete
  - Cut/Copy/Paste (?)
  - ...

Places
- Can be turned off (default on).
- List can be vertically resized.
- List is not hierarchical.
- Icons are taken from the system.
- Dynamic button height to get larger buttons, in case of only a few places are shown. (easier to hit)
- 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.
