I don't wish to restrict where I might navigate to and
subsequently grab a directory path.
I would not likely use ~/ or anything above...
currently the specific application would be to change or
add paths under something like ~/prj/emacs-desktops where
project-specific desktop files are located.
Although the application is currently of limited scope, it could
expand, but not by much. I'm a retired programmer and just trying
to keep my brain from atropyhing ...
cheers
