Description
When creating a new chat in the desktop app I always have to pick a folder. It would be much more convenient if a new chat defaulted to the folder currently selected in the sidebar

Research direction
Start by locating the desktop app's new-chat flow and the sidebar's selected-folder state. Trace how folder selection is currently handled when creating a chat. Done means a new chat uses the selected sidebar folder by default while still allowing the folder to be changed.
