Preference set - default program file directory is not working

[Thorsten Kohl (IBS)]

We need for different projects different directory settings. Because of the settings cannot be changed automatically when loading a project, I tried to work with different preference sets. Each project is working with a different database connection, so this should be a solution.

But when connecting to a new database, the "files => directories => program window" setting in the preferences is not reloaded. The open/save dialog is just opened in the folder selected before.

It's also not working in the actual release canditate of 7.1.

Is this a bug or do I have to change my configuration?

I just forgot one thing:
This "[Preferences]" => "ProgramFileDir=" entry in the corresponding ini-file is always ignored. Only the setting of this element in the "default.ini" of the user is working.

The directory preferences are merely initial defaults after startup. If you open a file from a specific directory, the file dialog will open from the same directory the next time.

Marco, thanks for your quick answer.
Maybe it would be a nice feature for the next version/release.
