Set Favorite Folder

[BeBob]

Is there a way to set up a default or favorite folder in PS (CS4)?

I'm working with many files from different folders and want to save them in a specific folder. so every time i have to navigate to this folder; what a waste of lifetime!!! :wtf:

i know that some programs do have this function (fruity loops...)

Poor example, since you can rotate it in the Photoshop currently shipping, as well.

i know, but thats exactly the way you answered my question

The point is the way Adobe wants you to manage favorites while using Photoshop is with Bridge

The way I got around this problem was to use a program called Tweak UI (it's one of the Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP). Under Common Dialogs > Places Bar > Custom places bar, you can change what the Windows dialog shows on the places bar for the Open and Save As dialogs. I created a folder on my desktop called Shortcuts, gave it a spiffy icon, told Tweak UI to use that folder as one of the places to show and I can put shortcuts to all the projects I'm currently working on in there. So, with a little set up, you can navigate to a specific folder with a couple of clicks when you go to save a file.

Maybe something to do with Windows dialog boxes vs Adobe dialogue boxes

I never pay attention, but maybe that's what you are after

Adobe Dialog vs OS Dialog?

Yeah, I know I switched over to using the Windows dialog, probably because it supported preview thumbnails. I was trying to experiment but I can't find how to switch it back to using the Adobe file dialog.
