Description
Racket 8.2 [cs]
Linux
Observed behavior
Save the following code in a folder:
(require 2htdp/image)
(circle 10 "solid" "blue")
Right click on the image and choose "Save image...". Notice that you begin in $HOME and not the folder where the Racket source code was saved.
Save the image and repeat the process. Notice that you again begin in the $HOME folder and not where you last saved the image.
Desired Behavior
- Begin the save process in the directory where the file is saved.
- Remember the previous folder when saving multiple images one after the other. (Less important)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in DrRacket on Linux with the 2htdp/image example, then follow the "Save image..." action from the image context menu. Done means the save dialog initially opens in the source file's directory and subsequent image saves remember the last-used folder.
