Where to save workspace and project

Hello, i'm using phped for a few months now and i'm really satisfied.

One problem i cannot get wright, or maybe phped doesn't. When i save my workspace and project file i ussually save it in a directory inside the project directorie where i'm working in. This makes it easy to copy my project plus phped workspace and projectfile to another computer. ( maybe there's a better way but i fifn't find it ). Because i do this i normally use the mydocuments directory where i save my projects.
The problem is that when saving the projectfile it doesn't show the mydocuments. I have to go to documents and settings etc...

Should i do this differently? ( i don't want to go and save files from different directory to copy my whole project )

has anyone got tips?

I agree, showing a link to My Documents in the Open/Save file browsers would be very useful, perhaps on the same level as My Computer?

While I'm on the subject, I'd just like to say I love the way you can open/save a file directly to/from an SSH/SFTP server using the Open/Save file browsers - it's very time-saving!

see the button with asterisk. It's a list of favorites and you can easily jump to a directory, even to remote one.

That's good, and works, but isn't that obvious.
It would fit the standard (for Windows programs at least) to show My Documents alongside My Computer.

Think of Windows Vista - My Documents is C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
In Windows XP My Documents is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents.

All a user cares about is that it's My Documents. Granted, your software is aimed at techies who should know this stuff, but even so, meeting the standards would surely give your user a better experience, and make them "fall in love" more with the software, no?
