Well for starters if I happen to know the file I want to load (i.e. I
have it in the cut buffer from somewhere) there's nowhere to enter a
file name, I have to go clicky, clicky, clicky directory by directory
all the way there.

... and I don't find the way it's presented easy to understand either,
every time I use it I end up going up and down directories a few times
before I understand what's going on.  A visual representation of the
directory tree structure would help no end.

... and I don't have *anything* in Desktop so I can do without that
being permanently there thank you.
