→File Chooser: add context menu lists for GTK File Chooser dialog
=== File Chooser ===
[[File:FileChooser_Bookmarks_Breadcrumbs.png|right|thumb|450px400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Linux GTK File Chooser: highlighting breadcrumbs and bookmarking]] [[File:FileChooser Bookmarks Breadcrumbs mac.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} macOS 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.
====Context Menu options====
Right-click on any file or folder in the current directory to open context pop-up menu with the following options:
* Open With File Manager
* Copy Location
* [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Bookmarking_file_folders|Add to Bookmarks]]
* ❏ Show Hidden Files
* ☑ Show Size Column
* ☑ Show Type Column
* ❏ Show Time
* ❏ Sort Folders before Files
Right-click in the navigation sidebar to open context pop-up menu with the following options:
* Open
* Remove
* Rename...
====Breadcrumbs and text-entry address bar====
By default, the file folder navigation in the File Chooser 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.
