The "recently used files" thing in the open dialog is utterly confusing. It looks exactly like a directory listing, but the shown files and directories are not actually in a single directory. The first few times I encountered it, I thought there was some filesystem disaster that mixed all my files together. Maybe if the display was changed so that it did not resemble a directory listing so much, it would be less confusing; but for now I find this feature unusable.
