Create launcher - type location - cannot set location

Bug Description

When trying to create a launcher to open a location:

- Create launcher
- In type, select location
- Enter a name
- Click browse

Now, when selecting a directory/folder, the only available option is open, which opens the directory rather than selecting it and entering the path in the 'Location' box. This effectively makes it impossible to create a launcher to a location in this manner.

If the user types the path into the 'location' box, eg '/etc/myapp/directory' and then saves the launcher, the resulting launcher does work, so the problem is only with the browsing for the location in order to create the launcher.
