Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: RedHat RPMs The "save" or "save as" dialog box offers 5 locations on the left hand side: Desktop, Home Directory, Floppy, Temporary Files, and Network. Konqueror on the other hand doesn't offer these locations in a straightforward fashion. When I save a file in "Temporary Files" for example then I have to know that this means "/tmp/kde-$USER" if I want to access the file with konqueror. I think it would therefore be very helpful if konqueror would offer a tab that looks just like the panel on the left hand side in the "save" or "save as" dialog box.

I agree, and also think this should be the "default panel" for the navigation panel, in order to strengthen the look-and-feel of KDE's file manager interface. Also with the possibility of adding customised entries to the "save" dialoge side panel, those entries would/should be available to the Konqueror file manager.
In 4.x the Places panel in Dolphin lists the same places as the Save/Open dialog, this bug does not apply to KDE 4.x

I had never notcied that, I use Konqeror mostly as a Web browser, I thought it had a places bar that was just turned off. But while, now that I understand the original issue here, I think it would be a good idea to have, it does bring up the question for me of what's considered an "advanced" feature. After all, Konqueror had bookmarks, which Dolphin does not, that to some extent replace the need for a places sidebar so it might not be neccessary in the "power users' file manager".

Using konqueror for file management, I miss the places feature quite a bit. For me as a user, there are two major reasons: - Consistency with the Open/Save dialog. While I can and do create bookmarks for my often-used directories, I miss the ability to synchronize them with the dialog. The places bar would take care of that. - Plugged-in devices are automatically added to the places bar, which is a really nice to have. So, from my personal point of view, places would definitely be a very welcome addition to konqueror...

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe Bookmarks should also be accessible from the dialog? Of course the Places bar does load volumes, so it does make sense to have it too.
