View Full Version : 3 different file selectors - can I avoid this diversity?

Hello,

at my pretty-vanillia ubuntu-18.04-GNOME installation, different programmes provide as much as 3 different file pickers:

most offer the "standard GNOME" - where I can find the booksmarks as I set up in nautilus,

a programme like FreeCAD offers a similarly looking one, but it has got its own set of bookmarks, looking like this (is this a QT look?):
280559

and finally a programme like MuseScore provides a KDE-like file selector:

280560

3 different looks, 3 different behaviours (some answer to alt-arrow_up, some not), 3 different bookmark sets.... - is that really what we expect when wanting a unified user experience...?

I'd say that in general this is not a good thing. Should I file it as a bug? - Or is there a simple on-board-remedy to force the system always to use the nautilus-alike file picker?

Cheers,
Wolf
