Description Helmut J. Haigermoser CLA 2011-10-04 10:48:01 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

The default for file/directory dialogs seems to be the "pwd" of the Eclipse process, or the Eclipse installation location.

Can this behavior be changed to either:
- use the workspace location, or
- have a new property: "eclipse.filedialogs.location.default" we could modify in our plugin_customization.ini:
eclipse.filedialogs.location.default=${workspace_loc}  



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file/directory dialog for the first time in a session

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.
