Although this rant complains a lot, the programmers in the bug report acknowledge that they like this fixed, but also explain that there is architectural debt in the code that makes it hard to implement. Being a user in Gnome, I have to say would be nice if it is there, but this will not break my whole experience.

Honestly, they should just toss the file picker and write a new one. It wouldn't be too hard to do. I've written custom file pickers in Qt before, and I've used GTK+'s API a lot for other things, it's not very different. I think they'd just need some guy to spend 3 days on it.
