Feature Request: Source folder setting

Is there a hidden setting for where it opens up the file dialog for the source?

If not, where can I set a feature request?
Basically, most of the time when I go to select a source file, the file dialog opens to C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV. I then have to go through the click motions to go to the same source location that I always work from. It would be nice if I could configure where the file dialog starts at.

Thank you,
Adrian

What version of MakeMKV?

In version 1.9.7, the open dialog starts at the last directory used, and that "sticks" across program restarts.

There was a bug in 1.9.6 that would cause it to always start in the wrong place.

I'm using 1.9.7.

Opening from the last directory used is pointless when your converting stuff that is in an individual folder. The next time run it, that folder won't exist since it's already been processed and moved else where.

Ex.
D:\MyVideos is the root folder where videos that need to be processed are placed in their own subfolder.

D:\MyVideos\VideoA
D:\MyVideos\VideoB
D:\MyVideos\VideoC

It would useful to have a default starting folder, which in this case would be set to D:\MyVideos
