Hello,  
I am sharing my latest script with Autohotkey, that does the trick of "Bringing your Save As/Open dialogue directly to the path of your active DOpus list".  
This is the feature inspired by Commercial software Listary, and another Autohotkey project [Quick Access Popup](https://github.com/JnLlnd/QuickAccessPopup) by [Jean Lalonde].  
And the code are based on other github project, mentioned in the code below.

```auto
;https://gist.github.com/akaleeroy/f23bd4dd2ddae63ece2582ede842b028#file-currently-opened-folders-md
; a fork from above script, which works for Windows Explorer, author: Leeroy
; further, above script was inspired by author: Savage
; the script works with Directory Opus, but with below prerequisites:
; 1. Your DOpus setting has set the title bar starts with "DOpus"
; 2. Your DOpus seeting has set the title bar "Display full path"
; in my case, I set the title bar "DOpus | C:\xxxxxx", hence my script will cut off 8 chacters from the title string
; please adapt the script on your own to fit your settings

    ; return

if f_class = #32770 ; It's a dialog.
{
    ; Activate the window so that if the user is middle-clicking
    ; outside the dialog, subsequent clicks will also work:
    WinActivate ahk_id %f_window_id%
    ; Alt+D to convert Address bar from breadcrumbs to editbox
    Send !{d}
    ; Wait for focus
    Sleep 50
    ; The control that's focused after Alt+D is thus the address bar
    ControlGetFocus, addressbar, a
    ; Put in the chosen path
    ControlSetText %addressbar%, % DopusPath, a
    Sleep 50
    ; Go there
    ControlSend %addressbar%, {Enter}, a
    ; Return focus to filename field
    ControlFocus Edit1, a
    return
}
; In a console window, pushd to that directory
else if f_class = ConsoleWindowClass
{
    ; Because sometimes the mclick deactivates it.
    WinActivate, ahk_id %f_window_id%
    ; This will be in effect only for the duration of this thread.

Currently it's not perfect -- sometimes you need to click more times 😉  
Any feedback and improve suggestion are welcome!
