Sorry,  had my 4th coffee and I'm now relaxed!
Yes, those three little dots would make all the difference.

Move along please! Nothing to see here.....

thus allowing us to choose the output ocation of each pass individually if we need to
 
also ensuring firstborns are left uneaten

I'm a little disturbed by this system. I like to point and click, create folders and sub-folders, and see the actual output path displayed in the render options.
With this system, it relies heavily on my typing skills at the end of a long day and / or night, ie. what happens if I miss out a [ or spell framebufer wrong, etc etc. *and* I can't see the actual path I'm rendering to, as demonstrated by Sams example below.
In that example, why are the frames going to c:\temp?
What if I have 1 pass rendering stills to a network shared folder, 1 pass rendering a sequence locally in Render_Pictures, and another rendering something else to another location? This system doesn't allow for this situation, or maybe I'm missing something.
