The behavior of "Open" dictates that it should start in the directory the
last file opened was located in. Therefore it often starts where I don't
want it to. The behavior should be configurable and extended somehow.
Possibilities for behavior.
1) start in the directory the current active file resides in
2) start in the directory the last opened file resides in (current)
3) start in a specified directory ($HOME by default)
4) start in the directory where the last file operation was working
Solutions.
1) make behavior configurable in preferences
2) add a "File/Recent Directories" menu (which position in the menu?); click
yields open dialogue in chosen directory
3) make "File/Open" a submenu with:
a) ...in last open dir
b) ...in home dir
c) ...in active file's dir
d) ---
e) (start recent files list)
4) add additional "File/Open..." with behavior of 3) and leave the
current "Open" alone
Together with 3) there is the possibility to give the "Open" toolbar
button a different behavior, that is, a quick one.
But this isn't much of an option because of HIG and sensible UI
consistency.
What do you think?
Greetings,
Leslie
