File Open/Save/Insert Dialogs
OOo provides own file open, save and insert dialogs. Those dialogs are available on all platforms. These dialogs allow OOo to load/save files using different protocols like WebDav. This does not work with system dialogs due to limitations of these dialogs.
File Open
New dialog supports places. Places are links to folders on the local or a remote systems (i.e. via WebDav). This allows an easy access to all these places in OOo.
