[gui-dev] Multiple download folders for different types of downloads

Hi,

I hope I picked the right list for this ;-)

In order to become familiar with Limewire's code base I thought it would be a 
good idea to implement one of the features from the Wishlist page.

I picked the multiple download folders since I already implemented the same 
feature for XNap. The important part of the feature is the user interface 
that's why I chose this list. As I understood it the "different types of 
downloads" refers to the different mediatypes, at least that's how it is done 
in XNap.

Here are two screenshots of how it is done in XNap:

shows the settings dialog where you can configure your download and upload 
directory. The mediatype specific download dialog is hidden behind the 
"Advanced..." button.

If you click this button the following dialog pops up:

You can select the mediatype for which you want to specify a special download 
directory in the combobox on the left or in the table below. The currently 
set directory for the selected mediatype will be displayed in the text field.

The button with the opened directory on the right opens a directory chooser 
dialog, the text field supports filesystem completion when you type in it and 
the button with the bent arrow resets all directories.

I could add an "Advanced" button on the saving page of Limewire which opens a 
similar dialog.

Let me know what you think or if someone else is working on this. I'll wait 
for your input before I start.

Cheers,
Felix
