More directory features

* Drag folder from explorer to XnView to show it in the image browser.
Currently it assumes it is a file and gives a warning that it cannot open it.
It does accept directorynames on the command-line however.

* Some UNC paths don't show in the browser directory treeview.
This might be the fault of the directory treeview control. The "My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Microsoft Windows Network -> some workgroup -> some host -> ..." is crappy implemented in Windows imho. Even funnier if you also add "Desktop".
Perhaps a different control could be used or something.

* List of recent directories in addition to recent files. (in where you have opened at least one image)

You can't drag&drop folder

How to reproduce it?

You have it with the browser toolbar button...

Well, I'm not seeing a no-drop mouse cursor, so the DragEnter handler doesn't verify the format of the data object.

My linux server doesn't appear in the network list somehow. I think that's the main problem. I will take a look on the internet about this problem.

As for the recent directories, you're right. There's even a list of favorite directories. Thanks.
