Could BYOND default it's file sending stuff to the users My Documents folder, or perhaps even the desktop, instead of system32 (for windows, anyway). I just feel like this has potential to be abused, or an average person mistakenly navigating through their computer, finding files they probably shouldn't.

I think none of the above. I think it's just a pain in the bum to navigate away from the system32 and into a folder in C:\Program Files\BYOND\Received Files every single time.

It saves the last location opened while Dream Seeker is still open, but reverts to the system folder upon closing and reopening Seeker. It's likely an SMOP, but Seeker would just need to remember that location for the next instance launch.

I also think it'd be useful if the save and select dialogs had separate saved locations, because if I remember correctly, they both use the same saved location during the instance run.
