Description Keith Lea 2004-10-20 15:27:26 UTC 
On my computer, Filesystem refers to the folder "/", which I do not have write
access to, and which most people would agree is generally a bad place to save
anything.

Either the Filesystem entry should be removed from the pulldown menu, or the
"Browse for other folders" part should be expanded when the user chooses Filesystem.
