There is something unnatural about the way Jadeite/Pharo handles the case where in a new image, you go to export your connection file and select the path and hit enter and get a walkback. After a while I figure out that it expected me to both select a folder and type in a filename. This as occurred two of out two times I've tried to use the export connection feature.

It would be kind to supply a generic filename instead of * e.g jadeiteConnections.txt.

Possibly the GUI could be changed to put the filename at the top and be more noticeable. Or put it on the side under the file section. Perhaps not allow you to proceed with * selected so you don't see a walkback. Or report a meaningful error that you needed to enter a filename. What does the * there even mean?

The Imported Connections pane doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since there's only one connection alive at a time as far as I can see and it's just a filename you picked... and if you create a new connection it could be anything, so what you have in your list doesn't mean it's what you are using to connect. I suppose you could call it the Import Connection Log, and including the path would make it a little more obvious what was going on.
