Summary0017738: Improve File Picker Default Paths
DescriptionDear Scribus Developers,

I have observed this behavior with many versions of Scribus, and it persists with the latest development version.

Scribus always uses the current user's document folder to open and save SLA files.
When opening/converting a PDF in Scribus and then saving it, the Windows SYSTEM32 folder is always displayed.
It would be good if Scribus used the path of the opened file as the default path for the File Picker (for opening, saving as, and exporting as PDF).
If other files are open, Scribus should always display the folder of the last opened file in the Open File Picker.

Open File Picker = path of the last opened file (variable is overwritten when opening a file).
Save File Picker = path of the currently displayed file.
Export PDF File Picker = Original path of the SLA or converted PDF file.

This would make working with Scribus easier, as you always have to copy the path from Windows Explorer and paste it into the Scribus File Picker.
