Description Tomas Danek 2005-10-31 13:39:08 UTC 
I get frustrated that always when adding new platform, directory
"C:\Documents and Settings\$USER_NAME\My Documents" is offered for browsing (on
Win). I belive not many users keep binaries in My Documents folder:) I'd prefer
to start in something like "My computer" or "C:\" or whatever, just to minimize
number of steps needed to navigate into platform dir.

I think that remembering lastly selected directory would solve this. Currently
just user's "HOME" is used (see JFileChooser's javadoc). Probably we shouldn't
try to be more clever. It's simplefix. Hopefull for 5.0.
Comment 2 Tomas Danek 2005-10-31 14:36:32 UTC 
I'm ok with remembering last used dir. (As i went through issue 66537)
