Quick File Open Always Goes To My Docs

Postby Noyce » 16 Dec 2008 21:28

Running VLC 0.9.8a on Windows XP

Just updated an older version of VLC to 0.9.8a, and as always, it remains my preferred media player. :)

One minor inconvenience is that unlike previous versions of the player, when opening VLC using Ctrl-O or manually by selecting the "Media" button followed by "Open File", the default folder of "My Documents" is always presented, not the previously accessed folder like before.

For example, lets say I select "new video #1.avi" in D:\Video Files\New Vids\November...
Perhaps I view the entire file or maybe I've just opened it to quickly preview it.
Once I stop the file and open vlc again to access another file from that folder, I am brought back to My Docs and must go though a few hoops every time to get back to D:\Video Files\New Vids\November

Anything I can tweak in the settings to correct this?

Thanks :D
