gEDA-user: gschem save as dialog suggestion



I am suggesting some mechanism to quickly access current directory to be
implemented into gschem "Save As" dialogue.

Example: I have opened the symbol /usr/share/gEDA/sym/analog/npn-3.sym
and want to save it under
/home/clock/creat/vault/ronja/schematics/symbols/npn-BEC-1.sym

I have to 5x doubleclick to get into / and then
(scroll)-doubleclick:
home
clock
creat
vault
ronja
schematics
symbols

It's very time consuming. Because the current directory is used very
often I think it is a good idea to add a special function for it. It
could be:

1) The directories window would contain not only ../, but also ./
2) there would be a button labeled "current directory" which when
pressed would switch into current directory
3) After clicking on "Directories", one would be presented with preset
selection of:
a) current directory
b) home directory
c) root directory
d) gEDA system-wide symbol directory
e) possibly also history
4) The same as (3), but not for "Directories", but for "Filename".

I also suggest the preview to be turned default on and not off.
