Instead of always starting in the user profile's "Downloads" directory, it would be great if the application could respect the "Start in" directory of the shortcut used to run it, or alternatively, be able to specify in a config file somewhere what directory to start in.

    I believe (and Tobin can correct me if I'm wrong) that following the first run, it will "start" in the directory that was last used. Checking for a "start in" directory upon first run however, is a thought....

    Just double checked, and for me under Windows 7, it always goes back to the "Downloads" directory under the current profile.

    This was added, but I found a bug in the code (hence why it fails). It has been fixed in the git tree and will be available in the next release.
