Hi, Ipe folks: I'm cc'ing you on this response to a debian user's bug report in order to float a suggestion for UI improvement.

Debian is now shipping preview 30, however, so that's what I've just tested. The behaviour I observe is that the "Save as..." and "Open file" menu items always start in the directory to which you last saved. The current directory is used if you haven't saved yet. I think this behaviour is defensible. The only improvement that I might suggest is that the "Open file" item *also* sets the directory for the next time one of these functions is invoked.
