Yes, that makes sense. My initial idea was to make sur that we can easily find 
the options (to disable the dialog or change the default selection for 
example). But that's something you don't need to access frequently, and as it 
leads to some problem, I have removed it. But I agree with Sander, we should 
somehow provide a help message that points to the settings.

Here is a new screenshot, following your advices:
