Hi Christoph,

Sounds very good to me ... just a small question: What do you mean by
places. Is it more the "kind of data source" (smb vs. cmis vs. file
system), or something like hierarchical paths within a data source. How
many of such places might exist (if its the former). I'm currently think
about what the "root" element in such a file dialog should be ... 

I was thinking it more in the GNOME way with a list of items like:

Fixed items:
  * Recently used (could replace the Recent documents menu item)
  * Local File System
  * Home

Server items:
  * FTP Server
  * WebDav Server
  * CMIS Repo
  * SMB share

By the way, I tried to find the specification for the OOo file dialog
rework ... without success. But I've noticed that Caolan helped to bring
the Gnome file dialogs "into" OOo:
http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/file-chooser-spec.sxw

Sure and that one is great.... but only for GNOME users :)

And (for maybe further use), I've found and interesting blog posting
showing a number of different file dialogs:

Great link, I think it could help. The only file-pickers providing
almost all the features I was mentioning are the GNOME and Windows 7
ones.

Thanks for your help,
