It works like this: [1] If the URL contained in the "Source location" field does *not* end with "???", it specifies the directory displayed by the file chooser. Otherwise see [2]. [2] If the file chooser has already been used to pick an image for the *same* XML document, then the directory containing last chosen image specifies the directory displayed by the file chooser. Otherwise see [3]. [3] The directory containing the XML document being edited specifies the directory displayed by the file chooser. We find the above behavior both consistent and useful. We understand that it annoys when you need to alternate from picking local images to picking remote images.
