The proxy file explorer is terrible, that browser is ages old, dont remember the location per project, long and tedious task everytime you have to locate again the proxy folder were you want to put the file if you have opened another project and made a proxy there.

The first image shows the folder explorer how it is, the other is a better option if you ask me.

That browser should never be used. :)
Or maybe there is some reason why it's this one?

Unfortunately I'm limited to this one maxscript method for choosing a save path ("getSavePath" if anyone wants to check). I'm not aware of any way to get a different (better!) dialog, at least not in maxscript. I had a look if I can use dotnet for it but it turns out that System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog is exactly the same dialog. I will investigate further but if anyone knows a way how to do it I would be delighted to hear it :)
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

...dont remember the location per project, long and tedious task everytime you have to locate again the proxy folder were you want to put the file if you have opened another project and made a proxy there.

imho it is more than possible for DeadClown to do "remember last selected location". using <initialDir:> and ini file. But, about the different/better dialog which is like FileExplorer is too hard to reach imho.
I think best solution for now is implement the remember last selected location.
