Set working directory [setwd(dir)]

Post by bpeary »

I'd like to see either the ability to set the working directory permanently (say in the options sidebar) or a way to bookmark other locations. As it stands now (ver. 0.9.4.2) you can easily load data from the home directory. But if your data is somewhere else, like several layers down on a separate mounted volume, there are four steps just to get to that volume, then whatever number of clicks to drill down.

Yes, once you have a file loaded you can save it back, and reload it later from the recents, but loading another file from the same location requires all those clicks again.
