Hi!
I also think the current behavior is not good:
- the button has two functions: Folder browser (to select a folder
in the filesystem) and repository browser
and the third "function": disabled
It is hard to guess which function is when active and why it
is sometimes suddenly disabled.
Also, it is disabled, when there is a valid file: URL entered,
then later, it is enabled, when the very same URL is in the text field.
Regards,
David
