#6 Default Browse location
The default browse location is in the user profile (usually an administrator account for Windows) in which the program is installed. On first use a non techie user will get frustrated looking for the file in the profile they opened the program. Most Windows users install in an admniistrator account and then run programs in another user account. The program should check to see which Windows profile in which the program is opened and set the default browse location for that profile.
The program doesn't internally specify a default browsing folder. It is then left up to the OS to determine what the inital browse folder would be. In windows it would probably typically be the install directory of the program (defaults to c:\Program Files\LDS Compact Directory\).
Whether this is problematic for a non-techie, I'm not sure. Outside of windows I imagine there are many cases the working directory would be the desired output location.
I'll consider putting in some logic to specify the browse folder in windows, but I'm not too concerned about this right now.
