=== File Chooser ===
[[File:FileChooserBookmarking.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} GTK File Chooser: highlighting breadcrumbs and bookmarking]]
The Open and Save dialogs (File Chooser) for Gramps are based on the [https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/iface.FileChooser.html GTK File Chooser]. Each operating system has expected behaviors for clicks, double-clicks, sorting, [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Handy_Shortcuts|keybindings]], environmental variables, and standard file locations that are characteristic of File Chooser dialogs native to the operating system. A few of these can be customized via the user interface to feel more similar to the OS native File Choosers.
====Breadcrumbs and text-entry address bar====
By default, the file folder navigation in the File Choose is by browsing. There are also some shortcuts on the left and breadcrumbs (highlighted in green in the dialog illustration) for quick navigation up and down the path. Optionally, a text-entry address bar can be used to directly key-in or paste a path. Toggle between displaying breadcrumbs and the text-entry address bar with the {{Man key press|CTRL|L}} keybinding.
====Bookmarking file folders====
File folder bookmarks can be user defined to make finding standard locations easier. These bookmarks are remembered between sessions and regardless of which Family Tree has been loaded.
With any Open or Save dialog open, navigate to the file location containing the folder to be bookmarked. Create the bookmark by either: dragging the folder icon to the navigation column on the left; or, right-clicking that folder to use the {{Man menu|Add to Bookmarks}} context menu option.
Right-clicking an existing Bookmark allows renaming that bookmark or removing it.
