  <p>The option "Other.." would present a normal file select dialog. Of course, any session loaded via other would
  be added to the list of known sessions. Unlike the "recent" list, this system wouldn't have to forget about sessions
  unless ardour hasn't found that session from disk. The recent dialog would be usable from here via opening this dialog
  with a default selection of "Last 10 sessions".

I think it would be best to keep the "open session" dialog pretty simple. I like the simple choice between recent files or opening a file chooser.

But I do like the idea of having more verbose information about the files popping up, sometimes I can't remember what I named my files. Maybe this information could be displayed in a gtk2 tooltip.

I would also like to see LASH (ladcca) integration in the future so I don't have to repoen every program I'm using for my session.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm pretty sure we're going to use the new gtk2 file chooser widget. So any designs should be based around that.

Err, v2 or someone else implemented this.
