Bug Description
I found the widget that lets you select which image to copy files from to be rather confusing. Firstly, it starts as a blank combo box, with an item containing an ellipsis as the sole option; when you select this, a file selection dialog pops up instead. I find this rather disorienting - I don't remember seeing an application with this kind of behaviour before.
MPT could perhaps offer better advice, but my inclination would be to implement this as a combo box with a Browse... button. That would avoid the confusing dual-use combo box widget.
