Log Message:
Hide the extra file open dialog options in an expander to make the dialog more compact by default and to provide more space for the file view. Remove the filename field as it is also provided by GTK itself with more features like auto-completion.
This commit changed the appearance of Geany's file open dialog. This was something which I liked to do for a long time, today I finally did it:
the extra options like the combo boxes for setting a specific filetype or encoding are now hidden by default and can be easily shown by clicking on the new expander "More Options" or by pressing Alt-M.
I also removed the filename field which isn't necessary at all, at least not with newer GTK versions as those provide a location entry at the top of the file open dialog (toggle the "Edit" icon in the top left corner of the dialog). And GTK's location entry even provides auto completion which is pretty cool.
If there are any big complaints about this change, raise your voice now! :)
Regards, Enrico

Sigh, I forgot to mention the rationale behind this change:
I think the now hidden options are not used that often usually and so hiding them in that way keeps it easy to show and use them but while hidden the file view gets more space to display the core information of the dialog, the files.
