Description of problem: The current "Attach Files" requestor is egregiously inefficient to the textmode user. It needs a text entry area added to allow the path to be provided as typed or pasted text. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-1.5-1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.thunderbird 2. File->New->Message 3. File->Attach->File(s)... Actual results: File requestor with no place for types or pasted paths Expected results: File requestor with a text entry area for paths Additional info:
The '/' key will get you one.
OK, obscure, but that does work for text entry. However, it doesn't work for middle-button paste. If I hit '/', then I lose the copy selection. I can reselect the copy text, but now I have to remove the '/' in the requestor. Also, after pasting in a valid path and clicking on Open, I'm returned to the larger file requestor and my file hasn't been attached.
The file chooser dialog has meanwhile gotten a toggle button to show the entry, so you don't loose the selection anymore...
