When choosing an asset for the first time, the chooser always starts with a fresh state. As we store more content in the DAM and organize it into a large hierarchy of folders, it gets to be rather inconvenient to choose assets in more than one component. If the state of the chooser were saved between uses, workflow would be improved.

When editing an asset choice, the state would probably be ignored, in favor of opening folders and setting the scroll for the currently selected file.
