Genu-Ine IDE issue

Neither of these sound like bugs to me, they are just a by-product of 
how Tiger works. The engine uses native OS open and save dialogs, so 
whatever the OS provides is what you get.

I'm not sure what the difference is, unless you are running the older 
copy of MC on an older OS. The MC IDE is just calling a plain old "open" 
dialog, just as the Rev IDE does. I just tried it on my Mac, and both 
IDEs allow me to scan left through all columns identically, so I'm not 
seeing the issue here. Note that non-admin accounts can't "see" any 
farther up than the user folder, but I doubt that's what is happening in 
your case.

This sounds like expected behavior too, also related to the OS. Tiger 
usually "remembers" the last folder opened by an app and tries to return 
there. If the folder is no longer available, it goes to a default which 
in Rev's case is the current defaultfolder.
