When opening pyroom and hitting ctrl+o, you're taken to your file manager, in the default folder (for me under kubuntu, my /home folder). On nautilus (and probably other file managers), there's a "last used" category, which allows you to access the files last used. However, this only is useful if you have less than say 10 files opened before the file you last opened with pyroom.
I think the following behaviours could be worth looking at:
- Have a shortcut that allows you to open (from pyroom) the last document opened with pyroom (equivalent of a "quickload" in a game, for example) let's say ctrl+L
- Have pyroom remember the last folder you opened, and have it be the default folder when you open (ctrl+O) an existing document from pyroom
- When a document is already open, and you hit ctrl+O to open a new document, have pyroom present the working folder by default. For example, I'm working on testingpyroom.txt, which is located in /notafish/documents/pyroomstuff. I want to open a new existing document. The default folder would be notafish/documents/pyroomstuff. TO go even further, if I open a brand new document (ctrl+N), when I want to save, I'm taken by default to the last folder used with pyroom.
Hi,
solutions I'm considering for your proposals:
1) shortcuts for quickload etc could be implemented by plugins
2) Imo that's best covered with the FileChooser's bookmarks/recently used features
3) we'll be implementing that.
