Bridge: Request to specify 'current folder' as default starting point for 'choose folder'

Ok.. this may be a little confusing, but after several years I'm finally asking for an 'enhancement'.

Today, I download a thousand or so pictures from some sporting event.   I review each picture and set a keyword for all those I wish to select for publication.

Then I select all the pictures with that keyword and want to 'copy to' another folder.  Preferably into a sub-folder within my current folder.

After I choose the 'copy to' function, and then 'choose folder', I have to drill down, from the root user directory, into the working folder I'm using.

It would be EXTREMELY helpful if I could set the 'Copy to' and 'Move To' directories to be 'current folder' as a starting point.  That would save several steps and delays to get to where I want to be.

For example..   I shot a basketball game yesterday.  I download 1000 pictures to my folder.  The path to that folder is c:\users\me\pictures\2017\ehs\basketball\boys\20170108

I select 120 of the best shots and want to store them in a new  'Select_boys_vs_Aurora' folder under the same folder they were downloaded.

When I  file>copy to>choose folder  I am taken back up to the root  user directory ( me ) so I have to click on pictures folder,

then click on 2017 folder,

then click on ehs folder,

then click on basketball folder,

then click on boys folder,

then click on 20170108 folder

then click on 'create new folder'

It would be nice to go file>copy to>choose folder> be taken to the 20170108 folder where I click on 'create new folder' and then create the new folder.

Does that make sense?

Please?

Thanks,

Scott Avery
