Default "Open" Directory in PI 1.8.04.1195 OSX

For now, a partial solution is to use non-native File Dialogs. The Linux-style dialogs do a better job (not quite correct either), but won't keep sending you back to Documents.

Hi dmcclain and thanks for the response. Can you please elaborate on your partial solution. What do you mean "non-native File Dialogs"? I'll try anything! It's just a hassle digging through file hierarchies over and over to find my files.

Edit: I installed Pixinsight on my work OS X machine and see the same thing. I previously thought the problem on my home computer may have stemmed from something being left over from when I installed the Trial, but now it seems that wasn't the case, probably further pointing towards your QT or something similar explanation.

Thank you,
John

John,

Given that osx is a flavor of Unix, as a workaround, you can maybe create a symlink in your Documents directory, pointing to your images directory.  Something along the lines of :
ln -s full_path_of_imagesdir ~/Documents/PI
Not perfect solution, but at least something.
Btw I had similar experience on Linux.
