When Saving, XNView provides a droplist of recently used files.
In reality I think what's usually needed is recently used folders, as you usually want to save to some folder using the existing image filename as-is or adjusted or some new name you type, but very rarely if ever would you want to pick a recently saved file to save some other file over, which on such very rare occasions can be done by picking the folder (from "recently used folders") and starting to type the desired file's name. The windows own recents system is as always a dysfunctional mess.
For opening, probably most people launch images from an image browser but there is a benefit to recently opened files as well as recently opened folders, which is already suitably covered directly with File - Recent Files.
* Can I suggest therefore that the open and save boxes have a drop list of recently saved folders instead of files.
* It's worth noting that IrfanView recognises this reality and provides precisely this on both dialogs, a recent folders droplist.
Recently Used Folders not Files on Open/Save Dialogs
