Yes, I'm actually talking about that dialog; your explanation is correct, and I'm aware that the behaviour I describe has a reason to be. However, my opinion is that the message that shows when the typed path is incorrect is not useful for those who don't already know the mechanism: that would consequently compromise usability. I think it would be useful to replace the present message with something like "The path you have typed is not correct: please check the directory tree" , or "The "/" symbol can be only used to head to a subdirectory, not in a filename: if you wanted to set a subdirectory for your file, please check the directory tree".
