Hi there,

The component chooser *is not* a file chooser.  It lists several "sources" of 
symbols; one type of "source" is a directory.

The way the file format works would make it meaningless for the component 
chooser to work like a file chooser.

However, once I work out how to persuade people that it's a good idea to bump 
the file format to support default embedding in a more elegant way, then 
something of the sort might be possible.

Hope that makes things clearer.
