Summary: Remember previous location in a file

Initial Comment:

When a user translates stuff in the middle of a file, then moves to another file, then later comes back to the first file (using the File List dialog)...  current behaviour is that when the user returns to the first file, he is returned to the first segment of that file and not to the segment in the middle of the file where he was previously translating.

It makes sense to me that if a translator deliberately leaves a text in the middle of it, that he would want to return to that same place in the file when he returns to that file.

So, I think OmegaT should remember the last position of a translator in any particular file.

==

Two exceptions:

1. When a translator reaches the end of a file, and moving to the next segment would take him to a file where he has already been, then he should be taken to the top of that file and not to the middle of it where he had left off.  Ditto when a translator is at the start of a file and then moves to the "previous segment" (which is in another file).

2. Possibly:  When a translator leaves a file when he has just been in the very last segment of that file, the next time he returns to the file, he should be taken to the first segment.  Not sure about this one... debatable, but it seems to make sense that if a translator has reached the last segment of a file, and then leaves the file, he is more likely to have completed the file completely at that stage.
