[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#310719: Files can not be dropped in "Open file" dialogs

[Anton Zinoviev]

Package: gnustep-gui
Version: 0.9.5-1

The "Open file" and similar dialogs of the programs of GNUstep are
difficult to be used because they always show some default directory
(usualy the home directory) and I have always to pass through the whole
path to the file I am interested.  This is because the "Open file"
dialogs do not have shelf with shortcuts for often used folders and
files (unlike the windows of GWorkspace).

As far as I can remember, on NeXTstep it was possible to drag and drop a
file over the "Open file" dialogs and the result of this operation was
that the dialog selects the dropped file.  In this way I could use the
shelf of the big windows of GWorkspace as a substitute of the missing
shelf of the "Open file" dialogs.
