I'm not on -community . I do see that both dev's and users would have input into such a thing. I guess I'm not familiar enough with brainstorming. I guess this weekend you will get to indoctrinate me on it. I see it both ways. For "this is a phone" people, the file browser is nice. An end user who just had "Extras" enabled probably doesn't need to know anything about ".*" filed.. For "this is a hackable toy" its not good. We can create alt file managers but too bad there isn't a good way to have a plugin for simple/advanced file browser dialogs.
