Feature Request: Open Wallet in Wizard?

[JPUnix]

As part of the wallet creation wizard. It would be nice if one of the options could be to open a pre-existing wallet that is located at a different directory location other than the default.

no, that option should not be a new button in the wizard.
the main window should support wallet == None instead

I vouch for this feature as well. It's getting tiresome sometimes to always create a new wallet just to open an existing one.

So if the wallet is on a pendrive or external harddisk, or its moved to another place you alway have to create a new one to open it.

better wallet == Import from file rather than wallet == none. This should be more explicit.

[RealBTC]

I agree with the OP and @gits7r , I made an illustration how it would look like

Pretty simple, just 1 more option needs to be added to the wizard.

[gits7r]

@RealBTC ACK I totally agree with that, just one more addition: If "Open wallet from file" is selected at "What do you want to do?" disable selection possibility (make everything grey) at "Wallet kind:" since Electrum will read that automatically if we choose to open wallet from file.

[RealBTC]

@gits7r yes, that seems logical, since when we open a wallet, the electrum software should recognize what type it is.
