Good tip! However I must point out that it's not entirely true that the user has to reset this dialogue constantly. It's dependant on the application in my experience. Most applications I have used actually save this setting, so it's a set once and forget situation. For those that don't, this is a great tip though.

Do I have to log out and back in for this to work? Doesn't seem to be working straight away.

Wow, this is a great tip. I can't tell you how often I've had to explain that stupid blue arrow to users in order to access all the print features.

Awesome tip. Its these simple things that make life sweet.
A similar tip request: Is there a way to make the column view's column width default to being equal to the longest filename (a la the option + dbl click on the column handle)? I would love that...

This is a great tip. Do you know if there's a similar toggle for making the "save" dialogue open with its folder view instead of fully collapsed as in the print dialogue?
