#1182 Folder when opening a file

[Ronald]

When I click on "File/Open", the open-dialogue window is set to a directory which is one where I never, ever want to open a file (I'm using the Windows version of Scite and, for whatever reason, Scite decides to open the directory named Bibliotheken\Dokumente for me. It would be convenient to have a way to somehow tell Scite which directory to show on "File/Open".

I could imagine several solutions for this:

1. It could be a Scite property
2. At least on Windows, Scite could simply use the working directory (i.e. the one which I specify in the properties of the Windows shortcut)
3. There could be an environment variable with which I can override the default
4. It could be a command line parameter to Scite

No matter how this would be implemented - it would always be better than the current behaviour!

Hi Roland, was curious an read through the docs - "open.dialog.in.file.directory=1" seems to help with your idea.

Windows preserves the File Open directory both within one run of SciTE and between runs. If you use "Open File" to open a file in SciTE, then shut down and restart SciTE, File Open will show the same directory as before.
