sometimes having a more functional interface important. have a button
bar is new but better since you can click on any of these in an easy
way compared to a drop down box. if you just want a windows explorer
clone then you have file manager that come close to that. if gnome had
just copied windows dialog boxes people would have whined about open
source not doing anything different or better

this should be considered a bug. bugzilla.gnome.org needs to know.

gnome 2.8 allows to use find as you type, gnome 2.10 will have a open
location dialog box in the context menu

again file a bug and suggest it. I have been thinking about the same too
