It would be wonderful if we could specify that we wanted TC to save directories on portable drives by drive NAME instead of by the changeable drive LETTER. For example, when I attach my phone to the computer, it may get different letters depending on what other portable drives are active. But its USB volume name is constant (e.g. DEFYXT). When I save a drive with Ctrl-D, I'd like to specify DEFYXT:\podcasts instead of F:\podcasts (for example).
I know I can simulate this with USBDLM but not if I'm running TC in portable mode on different computers where I don't have USBDLM installed.

Maybe this will help for development? The portable program USB Disk Ejector is able to eject a drive by it's name (not volume label, but real device name like "SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro"). The code is open source and available on the website:

Seems to me that only the code for identifying the device is needed for integration in TC.
