Can cocoa developers please not set a default path for open and save dialog boxes? Instead set nil. This will go to the last folder the user used in the application, which is what he may want to do if he has to open multiple files.

I think you mean @"". Setting these to nil will cause your application to crash, as stated in NSOpenPanel and NSSavePanel docs. And while I'm not saying whether this is a good or bad suggestion(it depends a lot on the situation - a user preference might not be a bad idea), your own statement's use of the word may indicates that this is merely a possibility, not a definite. I don't mean to be critical, but this admission seems to take some weight away from your initial suggestion(if the user only *may* want that, why *should* all cocoa devs obey this?).

Just my one and a half cents...
