When saving a file I often realize that I would

Why should I waste time and change to a different program while I could do this in the file open/save dialog?

Then the file dialogs must use the platform specific file managers. On Windows, the dialogs expose functionality of file explorer, on Linux that of the installed or preferred Nautilus, Konqueror or whatsoever. Please note that the dialogs shall *use* the managers, *not emulate* them. I'm not sure how this is feasable. It also would mean that eventual dialog customization differs for every platform.
