On previous versions of evolution (before 2.24), when a user used the command "move to folder", "copy to folder" or "new folder" while a folder was selected in the folder list, then the "select folder" dialog that was opened had some folder preselected:
* with "move to folder" and "copy to folder" the previous folder moved-to/copied-to was preselected
* with "new folder" the currently selected folder in the folder list was preselected.

As of Evolution 2.24, when a "select folder" dialog opens it does not have any folder preselected. As a result the following user experiences were degraded:
* "move to folder"/"copy to folder": previously move/copy to the same folder as the last operation was a single key, while move/copy to a folder in the same account was slightly more difficult. Currently move/copy to any folder requires browsing the entire folder tree.
* "create folder": previously create was a single key operation if the user preselected the parent folder before selecting "create new folder". Currently any create action requires browsing the entire folder tree.

I suggest to revert the previous behavior where the "Select folder" dialog has a folder pre-selected when entering the dialog.
