I've noticed this too. Very annoying with one's favorite DA text editor and
terminal program. A QuicKeys2 Sequence works well to fix this: first a menu
QuicKey to bring up the DA then a Location (Extension) QuicKey to set the
Standard File location. Viola, DA opens with Standard File pointing to the
folder of choice. I wish there was a cheaper alternative.
