"Open dialog" folder should track most recent module directory

• Drag from Explorer
• Recent modules
• This path is also used for WAV export.

I hate how Audacity has like 1 .aup path, at least one export path.

• When I try opening audio through the dialog, it's probably months old. When I try saving a project, the save dialog's path is probably some old path unrelated to the files I'm using in the project.
• When I try exporting audio, the export dialog's path is nowhere near the folder I inputted my WAV files in this project from.

I think "separate open dialog path, save dialog, export path" is an idea that looks good on paper, but doesn't capture the reality of how people work on one project contiguously (failure of "cache prefetching").

My input AND output folder AND drag-drop inputs tend to be highly clustered, and generally originate from the same set of paths. If I drag a WAV in from "Project X" folder, if I try to Open WAV, it will be from the same folder, and if I save AUP, it's the same folder, and if I export WAV, same again. Now the export dialog often defaults to some months-old project I won't ever touch again.

Does anyone routinely open modules in 1 folder, then WAV export into another fixed folder? Because I broke that usecase months ago, honestly.

Would something like a "Favorites" section (specific to the tracker) containing user-provided links to directories be helpful? May be difficult to implement if 0CC-FamiTracker uses the native Windows file dialog.

I'd imagine there are users who "mirror" their module directory into a WAV directory (for un-organized uploading to services like Soundcloud).

Windows 10's "recent directories" is very helpful, but it doesn't "see" files you opened via drag-drop or Recent Files. I don't know if I can implement a Favorites section or not.

Fun fact: In Win32/MFC, the file dialog's "most recent directory" is entirely controlled by the application. Windows doesn't remember it for you. I can customize the most-recent-directory however I want.
