Tip: Modifying the shortcut directories in the open/save-as system dialogs

[Scott Kostyshak]

Just in case anyone else was curious about this:

When I open a file, or save a file, I often want to quickly get to a few key directories, such as Desktop. However, it took me a while to figure out how to change these quick-shortcut directories in the dialog.

It turns out that they're stored in ~/.config/QtProject.conf. This file is used by other Qt applications, such as Okular.

After figuring out the right words to google, I also realized that you can just drag-and-drop the directories (from the right-side of the save-as pane to the left side) to add them. I had tried right-clicking on the icons on the right, and also right-clicking on blank space on the left, but it slipped my mind to try drag-and-drop.
