KNIME 5.9 Preview - List File node and path syntax

@wiswedel I just stumbled upon a potential major problem. In the 5.9 there seem to be massiv changes to the List File Folder node that might break several workflows:

This is how the List File Folder does look in 5.8.1 LTS RC3:

And this is the same workflow in the current 5.9 NB. It does look like a strange revert to the KNIME-URL syntax.

More options are behind the little yellow folder

There you can now choose different option which all result in some new form of KNIME URL with a location and a folder. When wandering out of the area of the local /data/ folder you cannot click back and would manually have to edit the path in the URL.

My fear is that these changes are very confusing and they might break existing workflows once you start editing them. People will have to re-learn to use the KNIME-URL (which I was an initial great fan of :slight_smile: ).
