The layout of the OpenMeta dialog doesn't make it clear what the user's options are. Putting the new dataset fields in the dialog makes it appear, on first sight, that you have to create a new data set. Instead, it would be clearer to have three buttons:

- "Create new data set" - opens the New Dataset dialog
- "Open existing data set" -
- "Close dialog," or something like that, so that the user has the option to exit the dialog without doing either of the above options.

If you want to keep the new dataset the way it is, then the "create new" button should go inside the "new dataset" panel, rather than to the right of the Open and Open recent buttons.
