Access Client Solutions open/save dialog boxes

In ACS on Windows, the left side of the open/save dialog boxes only offers a few predetermined shortcuts (such as the desktop), making it necessary to either navigate manually or type a file path. I'd like the left side to offer the typical folder tree/Favorites list seen in Windows 7 and later.


Use Case:

I'd like to save a .dtfx to folder C:\Sample\Certificates. The "Save" dialog box forces me to start at Computer and navigate to that folder, or to paste "C:\Sample\Certificates" as the file path. Since I use that folder frequently, I have it pinned to my Favorites list, and I'd like to just use that pinned shortcut.

    We will remember the last path used and present that for the next save operation.
    This is planned for our April 2020 update.
