    I am running PD5 on an Intel iMac. When I do an "open file" command in a windows application, it ignores the previously executed open file location and defaults to Mac "documents". It is tiresome to continually navigate up and down the tree to find my windows files. If all the apps would default to navigating to the same initial location, that would be ideal. As it is now, it takes 5 clicks and one option menu action to get to my documents. It varies a little from app to app, but this is the basic procedure I have to do every time I want to open a file through the dialog box:

    Set the option menu to Computer
    Local Disk (C:)
    Users
    Administrator
    My Documents


    On the mac side it automatically goes to the same place

    The Mac documents folder is called "documents" and windows version is called "my documents", but if I click on the "my documents" link in the open file dialog box (on the left part of the window) - it actually opens the wrong folder - it opens the "documents" on the mac side.
