Re: Comparing adding and deleting files (usability issue)

I'm wondering, doesn't anyone consider that an issue, too? I'm slightly
confused by the utter lack of reaction to this...

Issue repeated for convenience:
> When adding a file, I first get a list with checkboxes which only has a
> single entry for the file I'm adding. This doesn't make much sense to me,
> as I explicitly selected that file for addition in the context menu of
> Explorer. It might make more sense when adding a directory that you can
> select which parts of the dir you want. Suggestion: in the case of a single
> file, skip this dialog. In the case of a directory, provide two "add"
> buttons, one for the whole dir and one where the user can pick the elements
> they want.
>
> Then, I have to click the "OK" button in that dialog. Hitting 'enter'
> doesn't work because it isn't the default button. Allowing 'enter' there
> would be nice.
