Bringing back missing feature: Create new directory by typing a not existing name into the directory button.

Note: Small issue still with autocomplete -> if typing the new directory directly after autocomplete, it doesn't execute the operator yet.

Also fixed some minor compile/cleanup issues with warning about signed/unsigned comparison and missing header.
