Bug Description
This is with the 0.5.1 release from yesterday.
When I go to "Pictures", since I have none in the default "~/Pictures/" folder, I want to browse the directories from "~/Desktop/" where I have some photos.
So I go to "Add directories" and enter "Desktop", then "100casio", and once in there, I get the message :
"This directory does not contain any image files"
Which is not true and misleading. Something needs to be fixed here on the usability level to have the user (i.e. "me") understand that what needs to be done is "select" the folder from its parent folder, not go into it. Some suggestions of possible fixes :
- Display "This directory does not contain any subdirectories."
- Display "To add this directory, please return to the parent directory and select it."
- Display something to "add" the directory once inside it.
- Don't let users go into the directory if it doesn't contain any sub-directories.
