I'll reserve judgement on the idea itself until you guys are done 
implementing. (No sense in critiqueing a half baked cake. ;-)) I could see 
where it would be convenient if the program defaulted most directory settings 
to some 'current' directory that could be changed.

However, assuming that this is the right way to go: Why lock the user into 
this usage path, forcing them to change the current directory by backing out 
of the window, changing the directory and starting again? Assuming that a 
current directory model is the best way to go, there ought to be a way to 
enter a different path that works tempararily for the function of the window/
dialogue that you are in, much like entering a path in your average command 
shell. There should also be a way to change the current directory permanently 
from inside each of these 'locked in' dialogues. And if this exists, why not 
treat it like Windoze does and just have it stick to the last directory used, 
rather than forcing an extra mouse click every time?
