Some users have suggested that Decker should remember the most-recently-used path across runs, which might reduce your annoyance with the Open/Save dialogs. The browser version already effectively does that by leveraging the OS open dialog.
I guess I could also prompt for open vs. resource import on file drop, but it makes some things hairier.
If it helps, you can use arrow keys and space/enter to navigate the file listing in the Open dialog.
