Comment:

 Ok, but it isn't intuitive.

 To add images one clicks '''Add...''' , a dialog opens and then select the
 directory to add. The dropdown list of directories isn't used.

 To remove images (or in this case their directory) the user has to guess
 the directory from the drop-down list before clicking Remove. If they
 guessed correctly, the images are removed but if not then they've lost the
 wrong images and details about the directory that they were in. All this
 time, the user is presented with a highlighted image, giving the
 impression that it is what will be removed.

 Expecting a user to guess what will be removed, still seems to be a bug.

 A more intuitive way could be to open a dialog when '''Remove''' is
 clicked and present a pick list there. Picking would highlight or
 otherwise identify the images in the selected directory, then clicking OK
 would remove the images that the user intended - no scope for confusion.
