Hi Ricardo!

Yes, the File chooser indeed uses the current working directory, and
setting it appropriately solves the issue for what my simple needs are
concerned.

Thanks for you advice and offer for help! Unfortunately, I'm not a
programmer, and I'm afraid although I'd like to, I fall at the "if you
can" step :( 

I doubt there'd much to test about this if someone chose to implement it,
as it is so simple a job, but if any such help is of any use, I'm
available.

Thanks again,
Tero Pesonen
