I altered the KMenu command field as you suggested,
and this does work, as I had previously verified. Your
answer that GPRename never remembered the last open
directory by itself, however, does narrow down the
problem I mentioned. Namely, the 'Work path' field was
at one time obeyed by GPRename upon startup from the
KMenu entry, but is now ignored.

Again, this 'problem' barely qualifies as a problem,
and the workaround is sufficient to avoid it.

Incidentally, /usr/share/applications/gprename.desktop
is the only file in that directory set as executable;
perhaps this should be changed?

Aha! So it is, thank you. You must admit, surely, that
it was well hidden ;-)  How would many users know to
look there, when the home page and the wiki entries
all point only to the web viewable one?
