Folder selector has small and non resizable left sidebar

Wouldn't it best to have folder selector similar in layout to file selector with toolbar (zoom, refresh, view modes) and path on top and same options at top right and resizable left sidebar. Also the behavior of folder selection is not intuitive at all, because the expand/collapse navigation is more fastidious and confusing than double click/back navigation found in file selector especially if we browse folders with big number of subfolders.
