Default Directory in Progress Editor or Appbuilder

Question

In the AppBuilder or Procedure Editor, whenever I choose File -> Open it starts in the last directory I used, not my working directory like it used to. How do I get it to start in the initial directory defined in the Windows shortcut?

Answer

There are a couple solutions for this.

First you can modify adecomm/_getfile.p (yank it from adecomm.pl) by adding the line "initial-dir '.'" to the first system-dialog get-file command you will find there.

Second, you can use Tweak UI to customize the "Places Bar" that appears in the file-open dialog-box to include the directories for the projects you work on.
