Yeah, IIRC I've explained long time ago, why I think the current solution 
is superior than just configuring the default folder, But I could not find it.

Before making a new case analyzing what's currently there is advised. So:
 - with no diagram open the "default folder" is just the current
   directory. Under Windows this can be changed via the startup file
 - with a diagram open the file open dialog is just opening in
   the directory of that file
 - if you want a single or multiple other default folders you can
   store tham as bookmarks within the file open/save/export dialog and
   changing to them is just one click away

I know (and don't like) other solution around some fixed default 
directories. But I don't have any idea how to integrate this with the 
approach described above without breaking it.
