But doesn't it seem contradictory that the preference is Application
Launch > Open file... but in fact this only happens when the app. is
launched by double-clicking on the application icon, not when the
app. is launched through drag-and-drop?  Rather than adding a
separate pref. the behavior could be made consistent no matter how
the app. is launched.

Sorry - when I have a publication record open, then select the View
File icon > Choose File...  -- I would like this to default to the
autofile location &/or have an option to set its default location.
