Normally the dialog opens in the directory of the current document.  If that 
does not exist (no documents open or a new unsaved document) it opens with the 
current working directory.  For Geany started from the command line this is 
sensible.

Unfortunately on Windows for some Windows weirdness the working directory is 
changed from the startup working directory to the only other directory Geany 
knows must exist, the installation directory, the comment in the code says:

```C
        /* On Windows, change the working directory to the Geany installation 
path to not lock
         * the directory of a file passed as command line argument (see bug 
#2626124).
         * This also helps if plugins or other code uses relative paths to load
         * any additional resources (e.g. share/geany-plugins/...). */
```
