summary sez it all. sorry, bryner --i couldn't find an existing bug for this. i want to file this so that issues like bug 70628 can be duped [or, dependent if necessary] against it.
Severity: normal → major
Keywords: nsbeta1, perf
I checked in a work-in-progress version of this rewrite. To try it out: cvs up -rOUTLINER_FILEPICKER_BRANCH themes/modern/global/filepicker.css themes/classic/global/win/filepicker.css xpfe/components/filepicker/res/content
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla0.9.1
In addition to the above files, you will also need to get xpfe/components/jar.mn from the branch.

Not critical for beta, so moving to 0.9.2. Brian says the work is done though, so if reviews come in before Friday it would still be good to land this for beta.
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.1 → mozilla0.9.2
I've looked at the stuff on the branch, it looks good. r=jag
Note that xpfe/components/filepicker/res/content/filepicker.css is also removed, with this landing.
bryner: peter said you needed a hand landing this. how may i be of service? :)
outlinercell-inset-header on the outlinercols is unnecessary. Also, some of the functions would be easier to read if they had more descriptive parameter names. sr=blake with all the stuff we discussed...
i hate to say this but i'm not convinced this is ready yet... i've seen some strange visual bugs including the list being entirely one file name while it loads, the scrollbar not scrolling dynamically in directories with many files, and weird jumpyness as the list comes in... i've also had it lock up on me and this is all just with very basic usage... the keyboard control feels slugish and the buttons don't feel quite right. anyway this feels harsh and some of it is prob the limitations of xul and outliner... not sure...
i approve, course it's already checked in but what they hey ;-)
branch is checked in.
