So we actually have: - the obvious base directory for the user ($HOME) - the obvious base directory for that kind of files ($HOME/Downloads) - the obvious preferred behavior chosen by the menu creator ($HOME/Documents) - the obvious directory chosen by the user (where he saved last time) And I actually still miss the best of all: - the current working directory If I'm in a console and type cd /mnt/documents/finance/reports/2009/11/03 oowriter I would really like that the save-as file selector would _not_ open on the "obvious" places, but open in the current directory (you know, it's called current for a reason). Then, when I close oowriter, I run inkscape and it should default to the cwd too. And so on. Add to this that I would really like to open nonexistent files: oowriter abc.doc when abc.doc does not exist. In this way I can just save instead of save-as. And it would be nice if the app let me save an empty document; so I can save immediately before writing anything. OK, I really had to say that. :-) -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
