Use the currently opened file's directory when opening the file chooser dialog #441

Description

@nekohayo

Problem statement

With version 66 (from Fedora's RPM repositories), when I do Ctrl+O to open another file, the file chooser dialog that shows up always default to my home directory, even though I already have one (or more) .tex files opened and focused in the main window. The current situation is not very convenient, because 99% of the time what you want to open is typically another .tex file in the same directory (or close by), which is probably 9 levels deep inside your home directory.

Suggested improvement

It would be great if Setzer could tell the file picker dialog to show the folder where the currently opened file is.
