    I know it's a consequence of open source development, but I just absolutely despise the file picker. Everything else is dreamy.

    Gimp spolied me. Now every time I'm forced to use a GUI app with lots of dropdown menu items, I get irrationally angry that I can't just hit / to search through them like I can in gimp lol.

    Blender changed it to just start typing one or two minor versions ago. There's certainly stuff I have no idea how to find in the menus because F3 is way more convenient than remembering things (just be aware that you still need to be in the right mode for stuff to show up).

    Why? Genuinely curious about what is wrong with it.

    Maybe they dislike the filepicker because it doesn't support icon view, only list view (just like the standard gtk filepicker)? I remember a while back lots of people were getting their panties in a twist over it, it was a huge meme in the gnome hater community.

    GIMP could fix that today if they just used the filepicker portal. Otherwise once they get to GTK4.

    Honestly filepickers are kinda cringe, no matter what display mode it uses. I just have a shortcut that basically does find ~ | dmenu | xargs dragon-drop (well, the script itself is a little more complicated, but that's the gist of it) so I can just search for files and drop them into the filepicker directly. Hopefully once everything switches to xdg-portal, someone can make a "filepicker" implementation that just does something like that directly.
