#25 Feature request: easier opening of files

[peterthevicar]

Feature request to make it easier to open files

• When you want to open a pdf file (Files/Files) it starts at /usr/bin. Could it please start where the last file was opened from or at least from user home directory
• Also when you double click on a file could it open the file instead of having to click on 'Open selected file(s)'

It was a bug fix more than a feature, because the feature was already integrated.
Works in Windows. Probably some defects remain.
Untested in Linux.
Note that recently used directories are different for files and for projects.
File attached.

Hi, Sorry didn't spot you had done this already! This has implemented
going to the most recently used directory; not yet double click to
open but that may be really hard.
Thank you!

Double click is not easy for a file chooser widget. There is a signal "file activated" but it is unusable, because it will fire even if a second click arrives one minute after the first. And I don't know how to get list widget. I will ask this to my collaborator, Chris.
