Specify the folder to look in on Open File

[Dennis McCunney]

I run Notepad++ under Windows XP Pro.  N++ is started by a shortcut, which specifies the My Documents folder for my account as the Start In: directory.

Under prior versions of N++, that had the editor default to looking in the My Documents folder when I clicked File/Open.  I just installed N++ 5.0 beta, and it seems broken.  The shortcut hasn't been changed, but the Open action defaults to the N++ directory under Program files.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this behavior broken in N++ 5?  What it seems to do now is default to the directory of the last file I opened, which isn't normally what I want.

If you go to Preferences->MISC, find "Remember last operation directory" (or something similar). It will lock the working directory to the one you started with if you restart Notepad++. It should then do what you want, that preference probably got reset.

Yes, that did it.  The preference was unchecked.  I checked it and things now work as expected.

Thanks!
