No no. What I meant was that I should be able to select all files and folders in one step and click "Add." It should not divide it up into "Add Files" and "Add Folders". It's a feature suggestion.

It also works correctly for me: the highlighted directory is added. You can even select multiple directories holding shift or control.

However, I think having an "Add directory" button is strange/uncommon. I think there should only be one button, "Add files..." or "Add files and directories..." or something that does not divide the two actions, because they're the same.

Imagine the situation where the user has a directory containing everything they want to write to disc. This directory contains 5 sub-directories and 5 files. The advanced user who knows about the modifier keys must:

1) click "Add files..."
2) browse to the directory containing the data they want to write to disc
3) select all the files in the folder
4) click "Open" <-- another bug? Should be Add.
5) click "Add directories..."
6) select all the directories in the folder
7) click "Open" <-- Should also be Add.

Steps 5-7 can be avoided by combining the functions into one button.

You are talking about the gtk file select window after pressing "Add directories" correct? Adding a directory works fine for me. Selecting the directory and pressing "Open" will add the directory while double clicking the directory will open it to allow navigation.

Nonetheless if you are having problems with it I'm guessing it's a gtk bug. What version of gtk are you using? I am running gtk+-2.6.2 and it works just fine. Try upgrading gtk and rebuilding graveman.

I've tried to add some directories to the cdr project. The main buttons of the dialog allows only "abort" or "open". With open, the selected directory is entered. I couldn't find a way to add the directory to the main windows.

I've used Nautilis instead. Drag'n'Drop works fine.
