Double-click can only be performed by people using a mouse. What about
people suffering RSI who might prefer to use a keyboard? Have you ever
tried to navigate one of those file dialogues without using a mouse? I
have, and it's a pain in the posterior. But, it does mean that there are
further problems to allowing the existing dialogue to just handle
directories as if they were files.

Thanks,
