Hi, I know this issue is quite old and "inactive", but it seems to be the right 
one:

As it is mentioned in your earlier postings, OOo obviously remembers the last
directory/folder/path, where you have opened or saved files. So the
file-dialogues don't show the default-directory as it is set in 
Tools/Preferences.

My problem is that I don't have any button "Default directory" in the open- or
save-file windows. (Using OOo 2.0.1 ger on Windows.) The result seems to be: I
have configured a so called "default directory" which is in fact no default,
since I only can reach it by manually clicking through the whole folder tree -
whenever I have used another directory exceptionally (disk, USB-stick, network,
desktop). (By the way, is this losely related to Issue 3492?)

As an alternative, I can set OOo at Tools->Preferences->OpenOffice.org->Common
to activate "Open/Save-dialogues: Use OOo dialoagues" These (I'm sorry) OOo-own
windows give me the "default"-button, but they are quite uncommon for the common
user - I've spent hours explaining my dad how it works...
Besides, here I miss the shortcut-buttons from the Windows-dialogues linking to
Desktop and network directories.

Would you mind to add an option under Tools->Preferences to toggle, that OOo
shall a) *always* save/load to the default directory or b) to the last one used
(as it does at the moment)?
  I think, a) would be the behaviour the average computer user (including
MSO-migrants) expects.


Bye, thank you! Dirk.
