Same as VST.

This is mainly a Qt issue. According to the documentation for QFileDialog
it's possible to add custom URLs (setSideBarUrls()) so we should be able to
add basic paths. Can you please file a bug?

Same here. Qt uses its own dialogs for QFileDialogs (except if we use
simple ones called by static methods) so its hard to get a consistent
behaviour here.
Generally: if you and others file bugs at Github please keep in mind: one
item, one bug! People tend to report multiple issues/feature requests in
one item which is very hard to handle afterwards if we e.g. fixed one of
the listed issues.
