Re: [Inkscape-devel] Enhance file manager?
I have completed a first pass at updating the print dialog. It is modeled on the gimp-print dialog in having a radiobutton group to select between standard command, custom command, and print to file. I don't have a printer but printing to file works. There is no way to specify a non-default printer with the standard command, have to select custom command for that. Please check out the attached patch and let me know any issues.

I've largely forgotten the specifics, but as I recall there were some complaints that the file open and save dialogs lacked certain capabilities that most modern file dialogs have. It's more a Gtk issue though, so it may be best to see how things go when we finish upgrading to gtk 2.8 (probably by 0.46 or 0.47).
If you are interested in working on improving system dialogs, I would encourage you to take a look at the print dialog; it's suffered from long years of neglect. I understand there are some new developments for the print system in gtk 2.10, but unfortunately it will be a long while before we can migrate to that version since it's not widely available in distros. But meanwhile, it would be nice to improve our print dialog a bit - maybe there are some aspects of the new print stuff that could be backported or emulated?

Somehow the psdiff file wasn't included.
