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
