[Bug 878807] [NEW] No "Choose Folder..." button when selecting a storage disk
Public bug reported:
When configuring deja-dup through the "Backup" dialog in the settings
you can select a disk in the "Storage" section. When doing so you only
get an empty "Folder" input field. This happens for local as well as
external disks. Not often do you want the backup to be placed directly
in the root of the disk though.
It would be more efficient to provide a "Choose Folder..." button, just
like when selecting the "Local folder" option from the "Backup location"
dropdown. Only in this case it would use the selected disk as a base.
This would allow you to quickly choose a subfolder and/or create one.
