What folder were you working in when you create a new patch? What if
there are no other patches open? What if there are many patches open
in many different folders?
Before, on Mac OS X at least, it defaulted to "/". I've changed that
to "~", which I think is a lot more useful. Perhaps it could be like
this:
- if no other patches open, then "~".
- if other patches are open, then use the folder of the current top
window
