Hi Kenneth,

there will be different opinions on what is more natural for a "Save As
..." dialog. Some applications will select the folder of the current
file and some others will select the last used directory. On Win7 it
would be best to select the folder of the current file. The default
dialog contains a item to show the last used folders. Using Ubuntu there
is a very different dialog, that is missing such an item. I think you
will create a huge discussion without a clear result if you want to
change the default behavior of ImageJ.

Best regards
Michael
