I don't think it's really important to have a direct way to do it in the UI, so long as it's possible, which of course it is thanks to drag and drop from explorer. However it's a bit cryptic, which is why I came to this forum requesting exactly the same thing before I found out in this thread that it was possible (hurray for search!) So my request is, could we make this more obvious in the UI so that no-one needs to come to this forum to find this out? I was initially thinking that there could be an extra button whose tooltip was "add multiple files/folders" that just brought up a dialogue saying "to do this, drap and drop from Windows explorer or another file management program", but it doesn't look there's space and some users might find it annoying that there's a button that doesn't really "work". Perhaps we could take away a line from the file list (I know that space is precious, but there's the large view) so you can put underneath "tip: you can drag here from explorer".

I have to throw in my thanks too. I particularly love the messages I got telling me what I was doing wrong! First one telling me that my ISO didn't take into account the transition between layers properly. Then when I switched to using ImgBurn to create the ISO (instead of letting my DVD authoring tool do it) it told me I forgot to add a volume label, and created one for me. Then it told me off for trying to burn the .iso, telling me I should have chosen the .mds instead. Fantastic! I particularly love that it didn't try to tell me why I should be using the mds, it just told me the right thing to do and let me carry on with my life. As a programmer myself I really appreciate how it can be so easy to bury this sort of thing deep in documentation instead of making the program "just work", or even thinking that a user might make this mistake at all. Kudos to the developer!
