O.K., looks good.

I like these buttons.
There are differences in the function of these two buttons to the 
buttons in the menu/tool bar.

The buttons in the menu/toolbar are not depending on the selection of 
the local browser.

Let's say: I want to download some tracks to the device.
I choose the tracks in the local browser, then insert a disk and connect 
the device to my computer.
Then i realized that the disk is not empty, i want to save the tracks first.
I can select the tracks to save, call upload function from the toolbar 
and save it to any place i want without changing the selection in the 
localbrowser.

At current stage the local browser supports single selection only (but 
this can be changed).
The download funktion from the toolbar supports batch download for 
multiple files (not implemented yet).

Anyway, i like the feature of accessing different locations of the local 
filesystem independently from each other.
