Revisiting (XfilesDialog, File-Ex, Direct Folders)
Darwin:
Thanks for that trip down memory lane, Tom! You've made me miss it all over again :( What's missing from the other solutions that I've tried is the customization of the places bar... and the buy-in price is $49.95 (I already owned WindowBlinds so got a discount)! Maybe we should launch a major offensive and start an e-mail campaign to pressure Stardock to release this as a standalone application. I object to paying so much for it and being forced to use Stardock Central to download it... However, I've already corresponded with them and gotten the bum's rush!

or inspire someone (here?) to programme something (even) better ?
It's just one click less the most of the others BUT I WANT it :-*
but now @ $49.95 ? - indecent :D

CFDButton is nice, but it's lacking several features.

ChalkTrauma did say that he'd be willing to add suggestions, maybe you should enumerate them?
Maybe it might even fill this gap:

Been using FileboxExtender for a long time and not unhappy with it either
but

Unless ChalkTrauma is willing to implement a lot of suggestions, then I'm afraid his program has sort of a long way to go. If it was just a little feature or two, I'm all for it. But I can't in good conscience ask him to add a list of 10-20 features that might involve quite a bit of programming. That's up to him.
Since the compatibility range of these programs are mostly the same (standard open/save/browse + Office dialogs), then I probably will go back to Direct Folders, because I like their interface the best. That double-click on blank space to open the folders is brilliant.
Stardock is ok, but Direct Folders can do that at half the price, and it can do more. Besides, I don't want to install a suite for one little application.
