WF2: directory in file open dialog

[EddyVE]

I encountered another annoyance in WildFire 2.0.

After I have set my working directory, I sometimes see that when I do 'Open file' or 'Save as', that the directory that appears in the file dialog box is not the working directory. Sometimes it is the root directory of my drive (D:\) or sometimes another directory.

When I click 'Set working directory', the directory that appears in that dialog window is indeed the working directory that I had set earlier.
I just click 'OK' to accept that directory (again) as the working directory.
When I then do 'Open file' or 'Save as', the file dialog window shows the current working directory as I would expect.

In older Pro/Engineer versions I never saw this. The file dialog window always went to the working directory.

Is this a bug in WF 2.0 or a 'feature' ?

Kind regards

Set config.pro option:

file_open_default_folder working_directory

You can't blame PTC for this one. Mr Bill made them do it to get the windoze seal of approval.

So I guess it's a feature then ...

Thanks a million, dr_gallup !!
