Remember previously selected folder during session #21

Closed Tegu closed 4 years ago

Tegu commented 4 years ago

This change attempts to slightly improve usability by remembering the previously selected directory when choosing the input file or output folder. The selected location is shared between input file location and output folder, that is, the directory changes when either of them is changed, The selection is not remembered between sessions, though.

Before this change, one had to navigate to the desired output location starting from the home directory. If the user wants to store the output pictures close to the input file, this navigation seems unnecessary. In this case, remembering the previous location provides a quick way to get to near the desired location, which was the motivation for this patch.

Another approach could be to remember input and output folders separately. This might be beneficial if the user wants to store output in completely different location than the input file.

Remembering the location also helps in case the user wants to reselect a location for some reason, for example, due to a misclick.

To be honest, I am not sure if this is really needed but I thought it might be helpful in some cases.

Thank you for this bug fix! (I could've sworn that I had implemented this in the past, but evidently that was not the case.) I will look to merge this and include it in the next release of the program, which I'm hoping to release by early next week.
