I wonder whether both features (the one requested by Eliot and the 
one suggested by Sorin) wouldn't be possible, or something like that. 
Maybe the file chooser should remember the setting last used (as 
Eliot says) but the default setting for the output should also be 
relative to the input (until you change it).

If the dialog box were only to show the directories currently set, 
even that would help. I'm always forgetting and placing my output 
into oXygen's own directories.

Cheers,
Wendell
