UX Design: Project Functionality - Default File View Folder

OSX 10.11.5
Deco 1.1.2 (0.6.0)

Anytime the Open Project function is used, both from the splash screen and File toolbar menu, it always defaults to the inside of the last project's folder where a project would certainly not reside. Would it not seem more intuitive to place the user in the previous folder where one would most likely have all of their projects?

This is where my ignorance might get in the way; is there anything else a user would open?

Along the same note, this is the same case when saving a new project. I could very well be missing the point of this setup, but I wanted to at least point it out.
