Thanks for this Bruce. I had vaguely seen it before, but not paid much attention...until now.

Sure is handy Ken. I agree with Rob; this should be the default behaviour.

Excellent tip. I always wanted to find and hit an Apple employee when I came across an unexpanded save dialog box in OS X. Now I will be less prone to violence. Maybe this could be a feature request for Leopard. It would have to be one of the easiest changes they could make for the upgrade.

On the subject of Apple annoyances, why should you need third-party software to make Apple products work with Apple products? We have an Airport Express, but this will only accept an audio stream from iTunes. If you want it to handle audio from Apple DVD Player (or any app, or the System) at present you have to buy Airfoil. Definitely another one for Leopard to address!
