Hi Michael, the dialog fills with directories/folder immediately on opening, but then it takes an age to populate the view with files, and the bottom left of the dialog displays the busy icon spinning away nicely. Once it's populated all is fine, but close the dialog and do some more work, ready for incremental save, so save as, dialog opens and it has lost the files again.

Finder does not have this issue, just the open/save/import dialogs. This issue happens with all apps and is not MoI specific, it's an Apple issue, but might be related to the slow launching of MoI, which also happens here, but i am not too worried in loosing a few seconds a day :)

No I don't use any low level utilities on Mavericks and it was also a clean install and not an upgrade.
