Tim, for your GUI revision, something I keep forgetting about (I  
encounter it occassionally, and it hasn't stuck in my brain long  
enough to file a bug or mention it, until now): the select dialog box  
for rasters, vectors and other file-based sources does not use the  
platform open dialog - this may be intentional, either by Qgis or Qt.

But on OSX the Qt open dialog does not show disk or network volumes,  
nor does it show invisible files or folders, *including* Mac invisible  
(like /Volumes), so it's impossible to navigate to external drives to  
load data, unless I make a symlink to them.

I don't know if this ever worked, or if something changed in Qgis or  
Qt at some point. It goes back to at least 0.9.0.

Do you need a bug report?
