If you've got an open/save file dialogue open, you can select a folder
by clicking on its window in the Finder.  That is, if you can *see* the
bloody thing, you can move straight there without having to do all that
tedious shifting up and down the directory tree.  It also lets you move
the dialogue boxes so if the window you want is hidden by the dialogue
box, you can get to it fairly easily.  It's something I got addicted to
in roughly 15 seconds.

I've got Popup Folder which is apparently a better thing.

(and seeing as this is a general sort of Mac discussion, I've sneakily
shifted it over to my baby^H^H^H^H^H^H^H the new newsgroup).
