Footprint editor "add library" not working

[Rene Poeschl]

It is not possible to add an existing lib using the "Add library" functions in the footprint editor (File menu entry or right click context menu)

Both open up a dialog similar to a file browser. I can browse to the footprint library. The browser opens the .pretty directory if i select the library i want to add instead of telling the footprint editor that this is the path to be added. (When i am in the .pretty folder i am stuck. Clicking open does nothing. Cancel does what is expected.)

Tested in both fedora (43 day old nightly) and windows 7 (nightly downloaded today)

OSX uses a single file dialog for both files and directories (since it doesn't need double-click to open a folder). Not so on Windows and GTK.

I've implemented an alternate for MSW and GTK, but of course I'm unable to test it. If someone could give it a spin there that would be great.
