Are there alternate Wine file/folder dialogs that are closer to the windows one?

Post by raphael75 »

The file/folder dialog I get in Wine doesn't have any way to type in the path, show the "up" buttons to go up the next higher directory, show the file details or change the file layout (list, details, etc.) like the actual one in Windows does.

Is there a way to enable these features, or to install something that will add them?

Use winecfg to set the Windows version for the program to Windows XP.
Then the window will look like this:
