    filechooser: try to select a reasonable directory
    
    Instead of always landing on Recent, it's nice to try to be a bit smarter
    here. If we have a document open, we can use the directory of that file
    first (as it's more likely to be closest).
    
    Otherwise, we can use the directory we last saved to.
    
    Additionally, when saving a new file, we can try to reuse the directory
    we last saved within.
    
    Fixes #232
