Description Zak Wilson 2006-04-04 17:42:02 UTC 
The 'open location' dialog doesn't allow entering a full path to a file.
Attempting to do so just displays a directory listing of the enclosing directory
despite the fact that the dialog will autocomplete the file name. The desired
file must then be selected from the list.

I'd like it to allow using the 'open location' dialog to enter the full path of
a file instead of just a directory.
