Scenario:
I pull up a prior file compare session from my auto-saved session list (more than 6 days old). The files are no longer there. "Oh, that's right," I say to myself, "I renamed the parent folder." Of course, the reason I used the auto-saved session history in the first place is because I could not remember where the file was. So I edit the path in the MRU dropdown by cropping off the path name a couple levels higher and click the load button. I need to load the grandparent folders so that I can see the parent folder that was renamed. I get another "File not found" error. Now this is getting frustrating... I'm pretty sure that path should be there. After a minute or two of scratching my head, I realize that the reason it's failing now is because I've clicked the load button with folder path names in a file compare session.
Maybe it's just me... but this happens a fairly regular basis. Personally, if I try to load folder paths into an empty file compare session (where nothing has been loaded yet into the left or right panes) I would prefer that BC3 just change the session type to a Folder compare and load what I've asked to be loaded.
