It is very unpleasant solution. Besides that with that "All >>" you can 
add only directory with all files and then you must delete all except 
that one file. With "All" you are adding only one file. Very confusing. 
Don't know why anyone changed that. That should be simple, only one 
dialog where Add units/files should have two buttons: "Add file(s)" and 
"Add dir(all files)".
So, +1
