The Finder sidebar is the perfect place to put "aliases" - when you are in 
the "Save" dialogs make sure you expand to display the entire Finder - 
navigate to the location for saving, drag the folder into the "Favorites" 
section of the sidebar.

Search works well too...long live the mini-Finder

I didn't know either of these ways to bring up the Go To Folder... dialog.

Thanks!

When I type '/' in the Save As dialog in BBEdit, the Go to Folder sheet pops 
up, same as in other Mac apps. Not sure what the problem is.

You can do this via the Save dialog's standard (OS-wide) path 
navigation support: just invoke "Save As..." and type 
Command-Shift-G to bring up the "Go to folder" sheet, then paste 
the desired path and press Return twice (once to navigate the 
path, and the second time to perform the save).

For many years (20?, 30?) I have been using Default Folder which simplifies all 
the navegation, I couldn't work without it (I want to cry when I use MS Windows 
or Linux).

One simple alternative is to put aliases to folders you use in some other 
folder which is easy to navigate to (e.g., "Desktop", "Documents" or "Home").

Cheers,

Nestor

Really? that i very odd, as that is the default in Macos (neé OS X). Since 
autosave, "Save as" means "Save A COPY as"

Entering path for Save As filename doesn't go to the path :-(

2017-10-25 Thread Everywhere is Nowhere 
BBEdit is the first editor I've used where if I enter in "Save As" a file 
path, it doesn't change the default location to the path to the specified 
path and then save the file whose name is the final component of the path 
there.

That's pretty frustrating, because it means I have to tedious navigate to 
known long paths using the pulldown selector, and should not have to.
