I have been pissed at the open file dialog for a while now and decided to make use of Zeitgeist to hack up a new one from scratch. I decided to use the concepts from Elementary’s Sezen for a Search Dialog… The nice thing is we killed 2 birds with one stone here. We have a prototype for a search and a open file dialog in one…
With Zeitgeist we will be able to associate other recent or most used files from other apps. The search is live too :)
I am now asking you guys here to tell me what you think of the 2 different views… This is a functioning prototype that will be released with the next Zeitgeist if there is any demand and positive feedback…
* UPDATE #1:
I modified the UI again hope this is good enough :) keep criticizing where to move the widgets…
To explain a bit the arrows navigate in time between “Today, Last 2 Days, This Week, …., This Year, All Time”. “Latest and Popular” are for sorting :) latest being recently used and popular being most used.
* UPDATE #2:
More improvements done… it should look a bit more like danrabbits mockups…
There is another implementation I was playing with…
