No, that is not what I meant; I said we should look at the KDELibs open dialogs
when choosing a general layout.
I'm NOT saying its enough; I'm just saying some proposals for change were going
away from the global filesystem approuch a bit too much.

As I said in another email, changing the latest screenshot to move the buttons
below the tree view to the top and placing the 'name' field to span both the
list of icons plus the preview should do it.

Its basically the same thing as it is now; but it looks uses the ideas behind
the global file-open dialogs.

I (and I know the above was not ment for me, but I'm just saying what I like 
anyway). I feel the optimized POV is very good, as long as you start with the
global open diag and tweak it to be perfect for your needs.
In other words; don't re-invent the wheel :)
