[SOLVED] [LMDE 5] save as... box

hello !

after an upgrade from LMDE 4 to LMDE 5 (xfce 4.12 to 4.16), the "cancel" and "save" buttons of the "save as" box are now located on the top of the dialog box, and I would like to put them back at the bottom of the dialog box.
I tried by myself to find a way to do it but I didnt find.

Could you help me please ? What file should I modify ?

Thanks a lot

Re: [SOLVED] [LMDE 5] save as... box

You can run the following command to make the change:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/DialogsUseHeader -s false

Or you can go to the Settings Editor and look for and disable the settings in the xsettings channel.

On 4.18, there is a checkbox in the Appearance module to make it more visible.

I don't believe that's possible. The dialog being used here (the SaveAs dialog) is Gtk's FielChooserDialog, and it embeds the filename field into the headerbar which is always on top. The Cancel/Save buttons are called Action Buttons and GTK still allows some placement configuration for those buttons.
