That was exactly my initial response too. OTOH I agree that doing something just because that's the way it's been done for decades isn't really a best progress strategy :-))

Being a function-over-form kinda guy I'm sure you could convey to the user that the task at hand was to select a file without taking nearly 20 percent of the available screen area.

Right. It's a prototype. May or may not stay this way. While I like it, it's rather costly not only in terms of screen real estate but also byte-wise.
