Browse for folder suggestion

Could you switch the explore button to use the bigger windows file explorer type of browser to select folder locations? The small tree view one isn't really doing it for me, it takes too long to open and expand all the directory structures which sometimes makes me rather just use the command line because it's quicker to copy the file paths from Windows explorer.

Based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11624298/how-to-use-openfiledialog-to-select-a-folder, you have 4 ways of doing it, sorted by order of what I think would be the best:

  • CommonOpenFileDialog: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41511598
  • Ookii.Dialogs.VistaOpenFileDialog: http://www.ookii.org/software/dialogs/
  • OpenFileOrFolderDialog: https://stackoverflow.com/q/11624298
  • hacking OpenFileDialog: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50263779

I personally used the first solution and it worked great! I'll do a pull request this week-end to address this issue.
