Description:
Currently a full socket path must be specified unless you want to use the default.

How to repeat:
Try to connect to MySQL over a UNIX socket file.

Suggested fix:
Please add an option to browse for the socket path.

Maybe let the user select from these if they exist:
/tmp/*.sock
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock 
/var/lib/mysql/*.sock
