Craig pointed out that on his Windows machine that it kept forgetting the last location where .vap files were saved. I think this was caused by one of the codes saving the current location as "file://c:/path/..." instead of just "c:/path/...". I've checked for this in the getter of the current file, and now the behavior seems clean. Note I could demonstrate the same bug on Linux.

    I was just playing with this more, and I need to review what was done back in 2012/12/20. It looked to me like it was still broken.

    Craig pointed out this bug again. The procedure is such:

    1. save a vap to some acceptable location
    2. close and restart autoplot
    3. File->Save should bring up a "save as" dialog, but for Craig it starts in this old directory, not the one he selected in step 1.

    The preference that I believe will contain this old directory reference is "PersistentStateSupport.vap_recent"

    I'm attaching a script that prints the preferences.

    I removed use of pref prefs.get( PREF_DIR+ext, "" ) where Craig had a valid value for this but I (and others) didn't ...
