GIMP (GTK+ 2)

GTK+ file chooser

For GTK+ dialog, the location bar will not appear while viewing "Recently Used" in the file chooser. In this view, even Ctrl+L shortcut keys will not work.

KGtk is the hackish way to use KDE dialogs in GTK+ applications.

GtkFileChooser interface GtkFileChooserDialog

vi /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

/home/nicolep/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini



As people already said here, you can set StartupMode=cwd in ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini. This file exists already, if it is GTK+2, but I am not sure if your screenshot shows GTK+3.

In this case insert this line into your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:

gtk-recent-files-enabled=false

If you want "/" to appear as first view, you need to chdir / before starting the application.

startup mode

In ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini

change

   StartupMode=recent

to

   StartupMode=cwd

"recent" and "cwd" are the choices available to the user. An app developer can set an arbitrary start up folder by calling gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder ().

places

vi ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks

In Mint 18.3 To customize the list of "Places" that appears in the dialog you can edit the bookmarks file.
