IIRC poEdit asks the users for a list of folders, not a single folder.
Anyway, it's important to make clear that there will be recursion, i.
e., that subfolders will be scanned as well.

Automatically adding messages to the TM when the user works with new
catalogs.

Sometimes the standards change, so the old TM may became
counterproductive. It's important to allow the user to erase the
database, or maybe (not for 2.0!) edit it.
