Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:36:30 EDT 
I want to import some files from, e.g. c:\some\deep\nested\folder\with\my\files
Choose File / Import / Filesystem.
I can't just enter (or paste) the path in the wizard.
Choose Browse.
Ah, there's a text field.  Type the path.
It doesn't recognize it (OK is still gray).
Have to tediously tunnel down.

Should also fix zip import case.  See bug 2646.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-28 08:11:19 EST 
We don't allow typing of the path as the entry of the path populates the widget 
beneath it - this would mean repopulating the list and losing selections 
everytime the user typed a character.
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-28 09:28:51 EST 
marked as no change required.
