Hi all,
Okay, tiny feature request time: Let’s say I’m in Preferences > Appearance, and have just selected an appropriate texture for my text background, and let’s say I chose it from my Pictures folder. Now, let’s say I next go to File > Open. When I do, the dialog that comes up should not drop me back into the Pictures folder; it should drop me wherever I was when I last used that particular feature. Similarly, if right after opening a Project I go to File > Import > Files…, I should not be dropped into the folder where I just opened the Project from, or wherever else I just was; rather, I should be inside the last folder I accessed with THIS dialog, and so on and so forth, etcetera. To solve the problem of what folder a given “type” of dialog should start out in, I would introduce a Preferences panel entitled “Common File Locations”, enabling the user able to specify (or choose) the folders they typically store their Pictures, Media, PDFs, Projects (etcetera) in, thus eliminating a lot of extra mousing around when hunting for files of various types. This is a tiny thing, really — almost trivial — but I think things like this matter a lot when you need to draw on many different kinds of resources, particularly if you have to do so repeatedly. (P.S. — it would also be neat if the Import menu also featured options for choosing from your iTunes or iPhoto library!)
Just my two cents for today,
