Re: Is it possible to set the default directory for dia?



In the Export window you just drag it from the right pane to the lower part of the left pane

Er, no it's not.  I tried changing directory to my ~/diagrams
directory and running dia from the command line there.  Dia still
defaulted to my home directory, *not* ~/diagrams.

Yes, but if you go to open files in the 'tools' window it's back at
the root/home directory.  It's only if you open a file in the window
where a file is already open that you get the same directory.

How do you do that?  I thought it must be possible but I couldn't work
out how to do it.  It would be an acceptable solution for me.
