Hi Jon,

ij.io.OpenDialog has a method
  public OpenDialog(String title, String defaultDir, String defaultName)

where you can set the default directory. If you use some other way of
opening the file, you can use the OpenDialog method
  public static void setDefaultDirectory(String defaultDir)

to set the default directory.

You can get the directory of an image via the ImagePlus method
  String dir = imp.getOriginalFileInfo().directory;
Note that the directory many be null (if the image was not read from disk).

Michael
