Aaaah, these smb/server/macos things. You can try to work around and use the Finder to find/pre-browse and d'n'd your images. Also a plus for the Finder: Command+F/Quicksearchbar does actually use the preference "Search: Current Folder", rather than the InDesign-Dialog, which forces you, after using searchbar, to start browsing from your hd, everytime. Another workaound: Use a script to call the place-dialog. It doesnt cause your problem somehow. here some code: #target Indesign
try{
var pathToPredefinedFolder = Folder('/Volumes/srvmar101_01/DefaultFolder2StartBrowsing/');
//Folderobject
app.place(pathToPredefinedFolder.openDlg ('Get some files', '', true))
//prompt, filter, multiselect
}catch (e){}
