I'm not sure that this is the proper place to post this, but it's as close as I can come, so here it is. Sorry if I'm out of line.

Anyway, the project I'm working on, Question Bank Creator, uses a file dialog to access the file system. The way the program is currently set up is to open the dialog to the last directory used and let the user navigate wherever he/she wishes. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't and it's something I need to spend some time fixing. However, before I do that I need to decide if using default directories for whatever type of file is being saved would be a better way to go. (In this case there are three basic types of file: question banks, variables, and lists. So, if I decide to use default directories, then when a user is saving a variable, the dialog would automatically open to the default variable directory.) Both methods have their pros and cons. The real question is what do users prefer? Is there a general consensus for which method is best. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

BTW, I'd love to have you visit my repository, just keep in mind that it isn't even in usable format yet. Lots and lots and lots of work still to be done.
