#516 File System Browser: designation of path field

Now it behaves like a dir path otherwise it would show the file name part at the end. Which would also be useless because we can have a bunch of files open...which one should it indicate then? The field is obviously intended for path to dir, while opening a file itself (if a filename given) can be a feature (opens a file and cuts its name in the field).

I think this ticket should be split into one bug and one feature request (optional).

I think this is a bug actually. jEdit should open the thing as a file in a buffer if a filename is given in the Path: field of the FSB.

I think "Default Path" is "Initial Path for Dialog File Browsers"

Can not reproduce described behaviour too.

What happens is that the last part of the path is shown in the directory tree as a node while having icon of a file and emty file list with no errors.

Should the Path label be renamed to Directory and appropriate checks implemented?

path vs filename

There is a bar to enter path and another for filename. This is redundant and confusing. Further when I enter a fully qualified filename eg. E:\mindprod\jgloss\run.html when I am in default directory E:\env it gets confused and tries to compose a file name of the form E:\env\E:\mindprod\jgloss\run.html which fails.
