Here is the file open dialog again, with a default preview SVG image, for when a preview cannot be displayed:

That is what I meant by the "Preview not available" drawing.
It would be nice if someone were to replace this (imho) unattractive placeholder I made, with something simple (small SVG code), elegant, and understated. Something like the Gimp dialog, only nicer.
The only constraint is that the words are a single text string that can be localized.
Any volunteers?

Have you put it into CVS? If so I'll tweak it there.
Yes. It's hardcoded into dialogs/filedialog.cpp at line 251. One possibility, I guess, would be to just turn the contrast way down.

Bryce, Ted and I were talking about how it would be nice in our new dialog to have a local bookmark installed/displayed for Inkscape share (or maybe Inkscape examples and templates in share) and also Open Clip Art Library. We could test to see if these locations exist on install, and then react accordingly, or test on startup of Inkscape.
Thoughts?

Good idea, this will make the bookmark pane on the left actually useful from the start, and will also suggest to the user how it can be used for his own stuff.

Done, I shortened the text and made the logo fade away. Looks OK to me now.
I also tweaked the callbacks for the text field, and now show image previews on open/save, not just import/export.
