gtkbfc is a Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement. It's a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+ file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
Requirements:
· GNU Bash
· rxvt-unicode
What's New in This Release:
· A minor bug in unquoting filenames entered with the supplied helper was fixed.
