Izaak,
HDFView uses what is from System.getProperty("user.dir") for "Current
Working Directory" .
It seems that System.getProperty("user.dir") gives the directory where
the program starts.
That is the reason that the location is always the same. The best way is
to enter your own
path where you want HDFView to start to open files.
Two tentative solutions
1) No change for the current behavior, but using "Program Directory"
instead of "Current
Working Directory" for less confusing or
2) Using the directory of the latest open file in HDFView. If there is
no open file, use what is
from System.getProperty("user.dir")
We definitely would like to have your comments and suggestions.
Thanks

Hi,
If I go to Tools -> User Options and check the "Current Working
Directory" check box in the Default Working Directory section under
the General Setting tab in hdfview 2.7 the change is not sticky and
never gets made. Instead, when I open up hdfview the next time, the
box is unchecked and the Default Working Directory is reset to the
install location. I examined the ~/.hdfview file and work.dir field is
reset to the install directory as soon as hdfview is closed. I see no
fields in the .hdfview file pertaining to "Current Working Directory."
