Re: IDLE gripe and question

2008/4/22, Dick Moores <rd*@rcblue.com>:
I have IDLE 1.2.1, on Win XP, Python 2.5.1.

The first time I use File | Open to open a script, the Open dialogue box
always opens at E:\Python25\Lib\idlelib.
Here on Linux it opens at the directory from where idle was executed,
so I can't exactly reproduce the problem. But..
Most of the scripts I want to
access are in E:\PythonWork. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the
default folder to E:\PythonWork, but is there?
you could open a bug report on bugs.python.org and request for this feature.
Do you think using the directory of the last opened file opened would
be good enough ? It already maintains the recent opened files so the
first entry could be used for this new feature.
>
Thanks,

Dick Moores
