--- Comment #3 from alexxcons <alexxcons at xfce.org> ---
As discussed with brainwash on irc, we wont go for this one.

Though I agree that it would be nice to have the same settings, I dont think
this is the right approach.

It is not best practice when software A changes the settings of software B. IMO
the right approach would be to introduce a freedesktop.org interface for a
file-chooser dialog (Or is there already something like that ?)
Than each application could be triggered by that interface to open a
file-manager specific file-chooser. (see e.g.
thunar-dbus-freedesktop-interfaces.xml)
So please feel free to check https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki if something like
that exists and possibly report a bug there.

On top, even if we would change the settings of the gtk-file-chooser dialog we
dont have a solution for per-directory-settings, which probably will be
available soon.

Another problem is, that gtk-file-chooser-dialog is not the only file-chooser
dialog around.
