I have a set of instructions that go through certain menu options and then it opens that window to save a file in a location. Then I manually pick the folder, because that window doesn't always open on the folder I want. Is it possible to make BTT find that folder for me automatically?

Example: let's say I have a TextEdit file and when I hit a certain shortcut, BTT goes to File \> Save As...  
So now I see the window to pick the location. Let's say I want the window to always be the Desktop. Can BTT have some kind of action, script, or anything similar that picks the folder for me?  
That way I could run the whole trigger without doing anything manually.

Hope it makes sense 🙂  
Thanks

I’m wanting to do this, too. Am I missing something?

This should do it:
