Libreoffice 4.2 and 4.3 on opensuse and xubuntu

The left hand panel in the 'open' and 'save as' dialogues shows 'Places'
This is a LibreOffice dialog, an alternative to the system dialogs.

Thanks for the suggestion, but No, this is the system dialogue. The libreoffice dialogue selection in Tools-Options-General is unchecked. My left hand panel is headed 'Places', and underneath is listed Search, Recently used, what looks like various devices, and then places that I've defined. The "+" and "-" buttons only operate on the places section.

If I select to use libreoffice dialogues, then I only see places I've defined, which are not necessarily the same as the ones defined in the system dialogue.
Is it possible to change this to show the folder/directory tree instead,
as in dolphin and nautilus?
Yes, it is.

Go to the Tools > Options menu then LibreOffice > General. Uncheck the
"Use LibreOffice dialogs" checkbox.

See above comment

It would make it much easier to navigate
through several layers of folders.

Yes, perhaps. Note that the LibreOffice dialogs are (IMO) providing a
better UI: the Places thingy allows to always have the more often used
directories at hand (too bad they are not sorted), which is a PITA when
using the native dialogs. Second, the LO dialogs provide a Connect to
server button (the three dotted button, top right) which makes very easy
to connect to... well... a server :)

To add or delete an often used directory to the Places list, just use
the "+" and "-" buttons at the bottom.

HTH,
I agree that the libreoffice dialogues are very useful for connecting across the network, and I use them extensively for that. However, I would like the option of being able to move up/down a directory tree rather than having to do multiple clicking to search through one directory layer at a time.
