(In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #6)


So UX, 
1) if a user opens a document from his desktop, which then opens LO, and
then he opens the Open dialog, should it open in the desktop folder?
2) if a user opens a document in his home folder through the Open dialog and
then opens a document in File > Recent Documents that was on his desktop,
should the Open dialog open in the desktop folder when it is next opened?

No, that just adds a level of complexity that seems unnecessary.

Going to that effort, it would make more sense to add a value to the Tools ->
Options -> Paths and a dialog to dynamically set it for "Current working
directory" or such.


The simplest means of getting the path of an already open document is to
copy it from the File > Properties dialog, though the path tooltip in the
Recent Documents list would be sufficient for me to navigate to the same
path in the Open dialog.


Actually, think an UNO command linked to a copy shortcut from the tool-tip
might be perfect. We already expose the full path of each item listed on the
Recent Document menu as a tool-tip.  Would expect it to be straight forward to
identify a way to direct that to the clip board, and use it to fill a File
dialog--either LibreOffice's Open/Save, or the OS provided.
