Is there a way to search in last-searched folder?

I have a bunch of images I’m placing, and doing so by entering file names.

Not a huge deal because I’m working from a files that are found easily, but is there a way to limit the search to the last folder from which something was places, perhaps unless otherwise navigated?

thanks
