It seems that no matter which directory the Save or Open panel is displaying I  
always want to look somewhere else.

Wouldn't it be great if...

The Save and Open panels had shelves like the File Viewer and Finder panel so  
you could create "bookmarks" in the file system and jump to often used folders  
quickly and easily?  The Home button is a nice, but putting a shelf in these  
panels would provide much more flexibility and yet not break the established  
interface rules (i.e., this has already been done with the finder panel,  
Digital Librarian, and File Viewer). 

Any comments?
