Double-click to Add (the world) to iTunes Library

One miscue I make almost weekly is when I want to add some media to iTunes. Under OS X iTunes Add To Library you are presented with a window where you can select the directory and/or files to add. Well I guess it is my Windows double-click nature but when you double-click prior to being at the correct directory level, iTunes tries to add all files from that directory and subdirectories to iTunes. For example I would double-click on Downloads below when I really wanted to single-click to enter that directory:

I can usually catch it and cancel the operation before many (if any) are imported. But I hope I can relearn that operation :-) Thankfully it will only try and import files it knows how to play.

Now with iTunes 9 if I want to import media files that are already on another home network computer (with iTunes up and running) I can select that shared computer, browse and select the file(s), and click Import. That is a nice feature. However this will not help with initially getting the files into iTunes.
