1 month ago I'll see your "Start In" folder and raise you a "Save To" folder. Right now it seems like Cura always starts in the last folder "saved to" or "opened from" whichever applies. That's wrong 100% of the time for me. I open from the STL folder and save to the Gcode folder. Yes, I have to navigate back and forth every time. I would probably still have to navigate back to the Open From folder when I save a project file. I'm OK with that.
Here is the completed design. Someone just needs to add one or two lines of code so it works.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
When I click on "Open File(s)", I am required to re-navigate to my part file directory every time I choose a model. This is a wasteful use of time, especially when placing multiple different parts in one project.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to propose an option in the cura general preferences to choose a default pathway when opening a new file. Alternatively, another option would be for cura to automatically save the file pathway last used and return to that pathway when clicking on "Open File(s)".
This would reduce lost time and aggravation from constant re-navigation from the default window to the directory where files are stored.
Describe alternatives you've considered
none
Affected users and/or printers
I believe everyone would benefit from this. Click on open file, and, PRESTO! all your models are immediately presented and ready for opening. One click and done, no extraneous navigation required...
