Here are some suggestions for the built-in Houdini File Chooser/Dialog/Browser:

• Option to Rename and/or Delete Files/Folders.
  
• Set Default Window Size
  I keep finding that it is too small, especially if I have a bunch of JUMP paths set.
  
• Allow Renaming of JUMP Paths
  Similar to GIMP's file browser -> Places functionality [docs.gimp.org].
  
• Allow Re-arranging of JUMP Paths
  Currently, it is always sorted alphabetically, even if I re-arrange it manually in the jump file.
  
• TAB Menu
  The TAB Menu items could then display the named JUMP paths from the above suggestion.
  
• JUMP Path Editor
  Something that wuold allow us to setup our own categories/sub-folders for folder paths.
  (something similar to foldergit [www.rpmanager.com])
  This will help us organize folder paths that may depend on different project structures.
  
• History Dropdown
  Save a list of recently visited paths.
  
• Thumbnail/Preview Section
  For images files, having a quick way to see a thumbnail of the currently selected file would be helpful. (sort of like Window's Preview Pane)
  This is, in a way, a combination of the “Preview Button”, and the “Show Images” RMB option.
  
• Explore Path
  A RMB option to open a folder or path to an Explorer or Finder.
  
• Shortcut key to go back up a folder (backspace). <- Implemented!
  

I sent a part of this RFE to SideFX a few years ago:

Explore Path

That would be cool.

Please RFE them all, I too have requested some points of your list. The sooner some of them make it into a release the saner
Window size especially. I think all pop-up windows should have a respectable size since that's the main focus at that time. Resizing small pop-up window wastes time and focus.

Have fun

Kinda surprised that this is still not a thing. Show in Explorer is the biggest time saver in any tool.
