Some UX notes about creating project folder

[Zylann]

Godot 3.0 master
Windows 10 64 bits

I went through a bit of confusion while trying to create a project:

1. Open project manager
2. Create new project
3. Click "Browse" to pick a folder
4. On Windows, it opens by default in C:/Users/name, I want it to be in D:/something/uuhSomething/IDontRemember, so I try to click "/..", but it doesn't do anything, unlike any file explorer on Windows.
5. I decide to edit the path just to show the files in D:/ then:

At this point, the file list doesn't update, so I intuitively think that pressing "Enter" in the field would update the list...
Wrong! The dialog closes and the project ends up being created in D:/ while i didn't finish to find my folder.

Then I noticed that small drop down, which does what I wanted:

When I think about it, I understand the top URL textbox is the prompted directory and pressing enter will choose it, but for some reason I thought of it like a URL only used to show the file list below, like any other file explorer and browsers, and I thought the actual input field was the one at the bottom.

That one is completely useless when looking for a folder.

Wouldn't it be more consistent if the top path was only "where you are" with no "Enter closes dialog", and the bottom path was the actual folder you want to choose/create?

Is this still relevant in the current master branch?

Seems partly fixed, . and .. are now hidden and there's a ↑ arrow button to go to parent folder.

The drive selector could probably go to the left of the path instead of the right, to be clearer.

The "File:" LineEdit is still there and not used.

i don't have a issue on ubuntu.
is it for windows only?

@volzhs this issue has some Windows-specific details, but others are about the GUI itself.

The steps provided at the beginning now behave correctly. When you write a different drive letter and press Enter, it correctly goes there.

So only this is left:

The drive selector could probably go to the left of the path instead of the right, to be clearer.
The "File:" LineEdit is still there and not used.

(like Akien said actually)
