Even in SL I find navigating in the Save dialog a bore. Here's an Applscript script specifically for saving text filters, clippings etc. written within BBEdit.

The script asks a name for the document, if it is not already saved, and then tells you to save. When you do Save it will suggest the name you have given for the file and you will need to navigate only from ~/library/application support/bbedit/. If you only write text filters then you can change the value of NSNavLastRootDirectory in the script to that directory.


set _bbesupport to "'~/library/application support/bbedit/'"
do shell script "
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit NSNavLastRootDirectory " & _bbesupport
tell application "BBEdit"
  set _file to file of front document
  set _nextstep to "Now do \"File::Save As...\""
  if _file is missing value then
    set _dialog to display dialog "
Save (script etc.) as ..." default answer "" with icon 1
    set _name to text returned of _dialog
    set the name of the front window to _name
    set _nextstep to "Now type ?s"
  end if
  display dialog "
" & _nextstep with icon 1 buttons "OK" giving up after 2
end tell
