      Hello,

      the setting “Default Directory > Default Open/Save file Directory” is set to “Follow current document” in my instance of NP++.

      Now, if I have some tabs with existing files and some other tabs that never have existed as a file (new and never saved), and I close the last tab with the “real” file, the current directory points to the directory of that last real file.

      Is it possible to change it to some other value after the last “real file tab” has been closed?

      Thank you!

        I’d like to explain the rationale behind the question.

        When I start NP++, the current folder is set to “Desktop”. This is the basic setup. The files I’m usually editing are not far from there.

        Sometimes, however, I edit files from other directories, maybe network ones. When I close the last such file I want the situation to return back to the basic setup. So that e.g. when I bring up the Open File dialog (Ctrl+O) it shows me the Desktop.
