           Summary: Dirfile datasource opens the file dialog one folder too
                    deep
           Product: kst
           Version: 1.4.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kst kde org
        ReportedBy: arwalker sumusltd com


Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

In the first page of the data wizard and in the New Vector dialog 
(when the user has a dirfile folder selected) clicking on the folder 
button will open the file dialog inside the dirfile folder. 

It would be better if the file dialog was opened to the folder that
contains the dirfile folder. This is almost certainly what the user
wants (as they should not be looking into the strucuture of a dirfile
folder) and it removes an additional mouse click as the user is forced
to navigate back to the parent folder.
