Folder path bar in file saving manager.
 

Hello.

As you can see, the following file saving manager has exactly no folder path bar, where you can easily paste the desired folder path.

This is the same equivalent of joke as the following (really inferior) folder saving manager in Windows, which has no file path bar, and a really uncomfortable navigation to your desired destination folder: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Y5zXQ.png

The superior folder selector in Windows is this: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab...getdir_ex1.png .

How can I have a path bar in the file saving manager?

Do you have a question or issue you need help with here?

You can still drag and drop a location from a file manager.

I guess it never bothered me...that stuff is kinda obsolete in cli ;)

Tl7, this is ubuntu? 16.04, with the default unity desktop?
if so, i'd say things will improve if you use a different desktop environment.

but it's also possible that gtk3 file saving dialog is not configurable in that respect, i think i heard similar complaints.
but it's also possible that you can tweak something in /home/{yourusernameher}/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.
also see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK+

I think I remember seeing something like what you want. I can't remember where actually. I think konqueror might do it.

Versatility
 

Please excuse me, if I was not clear enough. I will edit my question.
I would like to have a fully featured file saving manager with file path bar, where the file path can be pasted, instead of bulky manual navigation.
That's because:

• LINUX is meant to be equipped well.
• Linux is meant to adapt itself to the user preferences.

Samsung Galaxy (TouchWiz) is already doomed towards Hyun Yeul Lee. She set things like white backgrounds and removed icons.
White backgrounds hurt eyes and increase power consumption on AMOLED. But some users like it. Linux philosophy: THE USER DECIDES. But for Android, Google/Samsung/etc. decide. Or why can I not choose to have the same TouchWiz as on the Galaxy S3, NatureUX 1.0? Why can I not re-install removed features? Take Firefox as example: Their AddOns allow reinstalling tab groups for people who like it.

• If a feature is there, people who like it may use it. People who do not like it, just ignore it.
• If a feature is missing, then people who need it are unable to make any use of it.

And Hyun Yeul Lee does oppose herself, claiming, that no more hard-to-use and hard-to-find-features can get in the way of a user. How can a feature, which is hard to find, get in the way of the user? (Galaxy Unpacked 2015, Episode 1, starting at around 17 minutes upwards).

Well, for a fully worthed Desktop PC Linux, I do not expect minimalists to cripple the experience of power users, because Linux is more for power users.
We do not have much market share, but we are pretty exclusive.

Disclaimer: I am not claiming, that Windows is bad. I am not bashing Microsoft. I also use Windows for some tasks. Both have individual advantages. But Linux is open, powerful, community-rich and efficient. And highly versatile.
Dual Boot is the keyword here: I can access both occasionally, depending on what I need at the moment.

Mill J's signature.
 

You forgot TempleOS, which fits onto a floppy disk.

Jokes aside, I like your signature. I must say.

I'm not sure what file manager you are using, but you can always try others! I personally use pcmanfm (well, I normally use the terminal, but when I want a gui application). Here is what it's interface looks like

Thanks :) so far I've added only the ones I've tried and liked(well sort of).

But yes as some of the others pointed out the file dialog is based on the theme of the OS and the gui library that is used.

Which OS do you have?

Multiple.

In all our PCs, Windows was pre-installed of course. We use both Linux and Windows occasionally.
I learnt to know Linux this y..oh, we already have 2018?. Yes, previous year, and I really liked it.

In 2016, Windows 7 Ultimate ruined itself by AUTOCHK/CHKDSK on one of our laptops. Some system files were unreadable, Windows boot DVD can not fix anything, and some random files were damaged.

In 2017, I have burned several bootable discs.

• CentOS 1708 everything (DVD dual layer)
• Linux OpenSuSE (pun for OpenSource?) Leap 42.3.
• Ubuntu Studio 16.4 LTS.
• Hiren's Boot CD 15.2 (CD-R burned late 2014).
• Trinity, UltimateBootCD, SysRescueCD.
• LinuxMint18 Cinnamon 64-Bit (the suggested version by their official website. KDE, Mate, etc. can be installed afterwards) fits onto a DVD 8cm DL.
• I am also planning to burn an 8cm BD-R (7.5GB, multiboot) with UbuntuStudio and OpenSuSE aboard, who fill out a solid 7.3GB.

I am currently using UbuntuStudio, at the moment.
I noticed, that Linux really runs quickly and smoothly. Things just happen instantly after the click, no delay.
I would not mind a small delay, but that just proves, how efficient and powerful Linux is. It just does, what it is supposed to do.

Windows does some mysterious things in the background (random I/O storage activity), but also runs really smooth on a strong computer.
Windows 10 even runs smooth on a lower-class netbook. But it is known, that Windows does some source code scrambling/layers, which avoid reverse-engineering, but also slightly affect system performance.

I am talking about the window, which pops up, if I press Ctrl+S in Firefox.
The file saving dialogue, which asks me, where and under which name I wish to save the file.

It has no path bar, where I can paste and directly navigate to the desired folder.

The pre-installed file manager is called Thunar. But does that impact the file savage saving dialogue?.

In my Firefox I can enter the full path in the name text control and it will automatically save to that location without navigating to that particular folder.

I'm using Void Linux with Nemo File Manager

My mistake! I misunderstood what you were after.

That being said, I use firefox on my system and the window that appears when I press Ctrl+s does indeed give me somewhere I can paste a path.
