## New features

New features in GtkFileChooser include the following:

- Ability to select URIs rather than just local files. You must use a GtkFileSystem implementation that supports this, for example the gnome-vfs backend.

- Present a list of application-specific shortcut folders. For example, a paint program may want to add a shortcut for its `/usr/share/paint_program/Clipart` folder.

- Define custom filters so that not all the files in a folder are listed. For example, you could filter out backup files, or show only image files.

To see how to use these features, please consult the GtkFileChooser reference documentation.
