Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:

The HOME directory already is the default directory on Linux with Gnome/KDE/Blackbox or whatever, as it's the working directory when starting Pd from the manager. No need for any changes AFAIK.

I'm the wrong person to comment on MS-Windows or Mac, as I don't use these and don't care even the teeny-tiniest bit about what happens to Pd on these systems, but please leave it on Linux as it is the standard here. All other apps like Vim, Emacs, Gimp, Firefox use the `pwd` as default and I can't see why Pd should behave differently.

If you want to confirm this yourself, try the following with the gimp:

$ cd /tmp $ gimp &

Then make a new file, select "Save" and it will give you "/tmp" as first directory choice.
