First image file name entry line doesn't work

  • In that one you can type the file name.
  • Either way, the first file name entry line is unusable. It should be either gotten rid of entirely, or be made to work.
  • I'd prefer the cursor to be pre-set on the first file name entry line, and have it work. That way I can just type the file name without a bunch of extra clicking.

  • This is low priority, but it should go on a list somewhere to eventually address.
