I don't know how difficult this would be to achieve but IMHO it would be a useful addition if it is possible...
I have a large number of documents in subfolders inside a main folder. Each subfolder name is 16-17 characters long and when a document with a new ID is created, it needs a new subfolder. I use the 'Create Folder' button which works fine and allows me to name it correctly, but it then returns me to the folder list which is very large and I then have to find the new folder. Is it possible to automatically enter the newly created folder, that is why the folder is created after all? This may seem a long way to handle this but there is a good reason for doing so :-)
I am using WinXP and Inkscape 0.45-1 and since I discovered Inkscape, I rarely use Gimp any more, this is a phenomenal piece of software and kudos goes to all who have helped create it!
Many thanks,
Tony

I agree it would be much better, but it's not something Inkscape does; this functionality is provided by the GTK library we use. You could try contacting GTK developers at their mailing list, see http://gtk.org/mailinglists.html.

Now that's funny... Default behavior of the save file widget in GNOME is to do exactly that (switch to the newly created folder), I wonder if this is specific for the GTK+ for Windows build (which judging by Bulia's reply, it may indicate that it is)

It may be. I'm on Windows today so I only checked Inkscape here - don't remember if it did so on Linux. I'm forwarding this to Tor who's a maintainer of the Windows GTK port, maybe he can comment on that.
I made a quick post on the GTK site (yet to be moderated) but I also checked on my Debian box here running Inkscape 0.44-0 and it works as I would like it to work so it is a windows issue.
Thanks,
Tony
