The classical way to open a file is not followed in Gimp. There is no browse button, nor there is a textbox where one can paste the path to the file. I do not edit images everyday and I always have to loose half an hour to be able to open a simple file. So here are my questions:
How to open a file in Gimp the fast way (something akin to pasting the pathway on a textbox).
