> Since Apple screwed up the Open/Save dialogs a couple of updates back, I've actually come to appreciate the Windows open/save browser more by comparison. Being able to manipulate files from within Open/Save is a fairly neat trick, as is the ability to pull in remote files from within Open by pointing to a URI. I still can't exactly love Windows as an OS taken as a whole, but Apple's changes haven't improved things.
Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan) allows users to manipulate the file system from Open/Save dialogs. Right/ctrl-clicking a file will reveal additional options.
I don't think it's possible to put in an arbitrary URI, but if you have a remotely mounted volume you can navigate to those files.
From my limited understanding, being able to download a file from an arbitrary URI by invoking an Open/Save dialog seems potentially troublesome, but does seem kinda neat in principle.
