  I'm not even sure if this would be possible...  
  
  I find that I use the "Repeat last action" command frequently.  Personally, I only ever use it with 'Save as...' or 'Open' dialogs.  (It keeps me from having to drill down into my Live Folder menus.)    The problem is that I will sometimes launch a website with QAP, then I'll forget I've done that.  So the next time I'm in a 'Save as...' dialog, I use the 'Repeat last' command, and rather than opening the last subfolder I used, QAP will type the URL of the website into Window's "save location" box at the top of the 'Save as..' dialog.  
  
  So my idea, is for QAP to check it I'm using a 'Save as.." or an 'Open' dialog.   If I am, then the "Repeat Last Action" command filters-out any command that is not browsing to a folder.  (And thus reopens the last-used folder.)
  
  Does that even make sense?

  I cannot reproduce this. If I repeat the last action "Launch a Link" in a "Save As" dialog box, it does not change the dialog box location. It launches the link in my default browser.

  Strange... Now I cannot reproduce it either.
  
  Actually I'm not positive if it is a website URL that gets sent to the save location box, or if it is a folder path... I will be more mindful about what I'm doing, and post again, when I can reproduce it.

  Hi Jean and All, I hope all is well.  I haven't been here on the forum for a while.  I popped in because the above-reported (bug?) appeared again.  As I pressed the Repeat Last Action button again, it happened again, so I was able to record it this time.

  Note however, that after saving my document, I opened the Save As dialog again and was NOT able to reproduce the error... It worked as expected.  
  
  In the screencast, you can click-n-drag the slider to watch it in slow motion. 
  This may or may not be relevant: 
  The url is
  {webhome} http://outreachtime.com
  and my user variable is
  {webhome}="C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe"  --profile-directory=Default
  
  For what it's worth, this has only happened once in an entire year, so I'm not too worried about.  Just posting as an "FYI" for you.

  Hi Steve.
  
  Is your favorite a "URL" favorite or an "Application" favorite? Because it is an executable file that is called, this should be an Application favorite, not an URL.
  
  I'll move this post to the Support section.

  How about adding a QAP Feature of "Recent Folders"?
  
  I use this very often and I think it will do what you are looking for.

  @Jean: You are correct--It is a "URL favorite." It never occurred to me that I'm actually launching an app.
  @dr Winchell: I will try that, thanks for the idea!
