Now the default (and only option as far as I can see) is opening in ~temp. As temp is meant for temporary files, most of my files are stored elsewhere on my disk. This could save a lot of time navigating around.
The File menu in Term does have several file open selections (temp/user/addons/system). We could add "current" for the current directory. However for navigating around your scripts, you should find that the Project mechanism is best for this. > 1) There's a slight bug in updating the window title in the editor: if a file is closed, the window title is not updated accordingly.
