- What makes more sense is to set the standard file directory to something
- relevant ONCE when the first doc is opened. If the first doc is opened using
- standard file, this is already done by the user; let the user manage what
- folder standard file is in. If the first doc is opened by dropping, I think
- that the current standard file folder should be set to where the doc was
- dropped from - but only the first time - the user can manage it from there.
