Dear Maintainer,

I just upgraded to Debian Bookworm, and switched my audacious to the Qt interface.
Works all right, but there is one irritating difference: The open button only
allows to open individual files. If I want to open folders, as I always do, I have
to have the menu bar visible, go to the file menu, and choose Open Folder. In the
gtk interface the same button could open files and folders all right.

If the "open file" and "open folder" operations really have to be separate, I would
appreciate if there was at least a button for "open folder", or a configuration
option to choose which kind of open I prefer.

I have scripted my own playlist system, since I listen to classical music, and I
want to randomize the order of pieces, while keeping various movements of each
piece together. So I tend to open folders exclusively.
