Can I customize Image Captures dropdown folder menu?

I use Image Capture a lot, not iphoto or imovie or any of those, but I use IC. Its simple and does its importing without fuss. The issue is that I have several different places I commonly import my photos to. The "IMPORT TO" menu usually lists the last folder used and a few standard other (useless to me) folders. What I would LOVE is to be able to customize that menu to include my most commonly used folders, so I dont have to hunt them each time. Is there a way to do this? I have Version 6.2 (451) installed, and it does not appear to have any preferences or other way of altering anything that I can see.


Thanks for any help.

Mac Pro (Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hmmm... I don't seem to HAVE that.


Inside the English.lproj folder i have

InfoPlist.strings

Loacalizable.strings

MainMenu.nib

ScannerButtons.nib

TakePicture.nib


I did a search for that file with EasyFind and came up empty as well. What version of ImageCapture do you have? I have 6.2


Did you add that folder and script from some third party?

Version 4. I now see that it is inside the help folder so it may not be useful but here it is:
