VLC 3.0.2 doesn't remember last directory

Postby amarcine » 24 May 2018 09:54

Hello,

I am on Debian stable (9.4) amd64, VLC 3.0.2-0-gd7b653cf14.

This version no longer remembers the last opened folder: when I do Ctrl-f it always shows my home, not the previous location that I navigated to in the previous Ctrl-f. It seems to be similar to
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=143366
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=143185
but these topics relate to Windows and as far as I understand to file opening (Ctrl-o). Based on the comments there, these issues should already be solved in the revision that I am having problem with. Indeed if I do Ctrl-o, the location is remembered. But not for Ctrl-f.

Is there a setting for this somewhere? Should I post it as a bug report?

Best regards,
Antoni

Hi,

Thanks for confirmation that it is an unwanted behaviour.

"was a bug" - does it mean that:
- it has been fixed, or
- that it is not yet fixed but you or others have created an issue in the bug tracker, or
- that I should now make a bug report?

Cheers,
Antoni
