taking

note to self: backend at least for newsrc handles a complex value nsILocalFile fine

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

this is a text field on all platforms -> all/all

backend for directory seems to also handle that complex value fine. only
frontend handles that badly.

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

now actually... frontend seems to handle that well....

anyway, that's beside the point. working on pathc now.
