It looks like this is org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser startup-mode in gtk3. Seb, Lars - can we ship an override to set this to 'cwd'?
For gtk2 you need a keyfile in ~/.config/gtk-2.0 - I don't know how you could fix that there so if we want to fix gtk2 too then it'd probably need a patch to change the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959505 Title: gedit wants to save in "recently used" by default Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Fix Released Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Clean install of 12.04, open gedit from the dash, type into a new document then File -> Save. By default the save dialog is positioned on "Recently used" which cannot be saved into. Seems a bit strange to default there. Would ~/Documents not make more sense?
