I've found "Default folder X" <http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/ > an invaluable help to speed up endless folder browsing when saving and open a file in OSX.
30 day downloadable demo on the site. Price USD 35. Money earned back pretty quickly considering the time it saves you. For general light speed access to folders, app launching, URLs & Address Book e-mail addresses, LaunchBar <http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/ > has a very clever "finger tip" solution which gets better and better as it "learns" what you want. If you prefer mouse clicking, the app DragThing <http:// www.dragthing.com/> gives you the possibility to tabbed multiple docks, to which you manually drag and drop applications, folders, network drives or just about whatever. Neither of these three apps have any heavy learning involved. Install and use, kind of.
