Idea #6888: Add currently open dirs in nautilus to save/open dialog shortcuts.

Description
Sometimes I'm working in a directory, moving files around or whatnot, and I want to open a file in that directory from some application. For instance, I might want to import a text file into a spreadsheet. Or alternatively I want to save a new file to that location.

What typically happens is that I have to navigate from my home dir to whatever dir I am already looking at in nautilus. It would be very convenient if all the current directory locations for all the open nautilus windows would come up in the directory shortcuts.

This would work well for directories that you are working in temporarily - you don't really want to add them to your permanent shortcuts, but otherwise you might have to do the directory navigation thing several times.

I love this idea. I can't believe I never thought of this before. It's sooooo simple and yet so convenient. +1

My bug was flagged as 'invalid' because another one exists already for this, apparently. I haven't been able to find a bug for this issue either for nautilus or for gnome. If anyone finds an active bug for this, I'd appreciate a link so I can follow the progress, or lack thereof.
