Hi Mauro,

I agree that doing file out always an arbitrary tacit directory might be 
uncomfortable. Still, duplicating the file out menu options sounds s bit 
too much to me. Would a reasonable alternative be to include dialog with 
the full path+name in an edit box? The edited path could be remembered 
for suggesting it next time.

Thanks,
