Comment (by mhugent):

 >If I add an image to a map composer, the icon remains pressed, and
 nothing happens until I click on the page

 Yes, this is the same behaviour as with the other tools (add scalebar,
 legend, composer map, label).

 >If I try to add a directory of images (containing also othe files, QGIS
 crashes:

 Hm, this does not happen for me here (also if other files are in the
 directory). Maybe it only happens with certain types of file? The composer
 uses two qt classes (QSvgRenderer and QImageReader) to test if the files
 are valid as composer pictures

 >Furthermore, adding a valid path does not persiste across images (if I
 add a second image, I >have to add my path again)

 But if you press the file selection button, the path should be stored for
 the file dialog
