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.

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.
