Hello,

I see there’s various suggestions to improve the UI, which I’d welcome, but I’m hoping this is a simple one. Please can there be a browse button added to the Restore file path page of the UI (currently you have to manually type it). It doesn’t bother me too much but for less tech saavy users I’m using Kopia with it’d help them out.

Thanks

I second this.

[Someone also requested this feature almost two years ago](https://kopia.discourse.group/t/kopiaui-directory-selector-for-restore/3324), but it doesn’t seem to have received much attention—I’m not sure why.
