I couldn't agree more. I find this behaviour maddening. I imagine it's
because when started from the GUI the concept of current directory is
vague at best, but when starting from the Shell they definitely should
take note of it.
The GUI should acquire the cwd concept.
Having the application launcher in the file explorer window instead of
near the taskbar would be a good start ("I'm starting this app to work
here").
Another idea could be to have a really quick "bookmark" feature on file
explorer windows and then show them in file requesters for easy choice.
Having it sort and/or colored by age/use would be perfect (like kate does
on filenames when you have many documents open).
It's also infuriating that every time I need to store a file
using one
of the standard file dialogues, e.g. from Firefox, I have to navigate to
the right place *every time*. Even within the same session of the app,
there's no short-term memory of the last place I stored a file.
How can one be surprised that many people save everything on the Desktop?
