While this question may have a correct answer for other OSes, it doesn't work for Windows 7.
The problem is that Brackets doesn't remember the last used directory and the file open/save dialog is constantly shown with the localized version of "Getting started" example.
How to reproduce:
- Use Windows 7.
- Create a new empty file within Brackets.
- Save as.
(French version)
I was not able to find in the registry any default path (the last position of the editor window is stored in the registry), nor the state.json configuration file mentioned in the other question answer.
Looking at the documentation for showSaveDialog():
initialPath string
The folder opened inside the window initially. If initialPath is not set, or it doesn't exist, the window would show the last browsed folder depending on the OS preferences.
I don't understand the meaning of "depending on the OS preferences" either.
There are bugs in various status related to this problem, but they don't seem to be about to be solved:
