File browser path isn't restored between a quit/restart of Enki

[bjones1]

After a quit and restart, the file browser's path is set to the path of the currently selected file, rather than its value on shutdown. It would be nice to preserve its value.

If you had closed it and opened again, it means you are starting new coding session. Your brain lost some context, like

• where and why did you set bookmarks
• what were your last changes which you might like to undo
• why did you opened some path in file browser

If you have lost this context, I'd like Enki also lose it to be in sync.

Could you explain, what is your case? Why do you want to restore file browser path?

[bjones1]

To me, the path I was working in is like a project -- the location of all the files I'm interested in editing. So, restoring it to me feels like auto-loading my last open "project"; I'm immediately ready to begin work, rather than switching to the "project" directory first.

Awesome! Thanks.

Oops, unit tests fail, I assume due to these changes. See below.

A related question: should I have posted this as a separate issue, or is commenting on a closed but related issue better?
