commit 892da302d694ed19687776405791056372d6d13c
Author: Juergen Spitzmueller <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Mar 23 13:31:21 2014 +0100

    Do not allow the manual insertion of a directory (without filename) into 
the import dialog and thus prevent an assertion.
    
    Fixes: #7437(cherry picked from commit 
afd897029917a083fbeb84cccd4e6cb0a21db7ed)
