You are right; there is a difference between my approach and the one
assigned to you. Mine selects, as you say, only the files that are in the
directory now. With you approach you select the folder instant of the files.

I'm not sure if yours is not the better approach, however if you think there
could be the need for both ideas I will open up a new feature issue and post
my approach.

I guess both could go along well together.
