Description Geert Poels

When adding a new external folder to the build path through
- New Folder
- Link to folder in the file system

The 'browse for Folder' always shows an overal view of mounted drives.
It would be handy to remember the last used folder, especially if this is at
a not so obvious location.

Maybe, remembering this folder could be set as an option.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
