Sorry, I should have been clearer. The Save As location for New/ Untitled patches is set to $HOME. Save As for existing patches remains the current folder.

I can't think of any time this would be useful. Apps that do that force me to waste my time drilling back down to the folder I'm working in. Having loose patches floating around the home directory is messy as well.

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
