Save dialog interface suggestion

[onesummerday]

I am thinking of an option, when saving a document, you didn't have to look for and choose a folder from a "folder menu". Instead you would write a name of the folder or its part in the specific place in the file name (for instance, behind the certain punctuation mark) and the system would find it for you.

On my computers, if, using /File /Save As, I enter a full path and the name for the file to be Saved, it will Save it to that path.

Yes. Thnx. But in that case I have to enter a full path which is perhaps even slower than to select the folder I'd like to save the file in. My point is, if I write (in Save As), let's say, "thedoobiebrothers.odt-mus", the system would offer me to save the file in the folder "music". I believe this is not an option in Open Office/Windows. But it would be useful for me.

If you need it, you could write a macro to do it, but that is a lot of unnecessary work - quicker to use the navigation buttons to move to the target directory.

You can file an enhancement request: [Tutorial] Reporting bugs or suggestions.
But honestly, there is so much to do before that (bug fixes, better existing features) and so few development that I wouldn't waste my time on that.

my opinion: it is a silly idea...

[Zizi64]

...but you can set (add) some preferred places on the "Save as" dialog box of the office suite:

This means fewer clicks

If I knew how to write a macro I would give it a try.
