you can't create a new directory directly in it. But if you click "..." a standard KDE dialog appears in which you can choose a directory but not create a new foder. So its a bug in the getExistingDirectory-part. I already sent a bug report for that.

the Next-button is enabled on valid information only. *Hopefully* in future a new folder can be created in the "..." dialog.

imho the current behaviour is very intuitive. I like it.
Let this BR opened till the missing feature in the getExistingDirectory-dialog is added.
