geany does not remember the location of the last registered file
I should search for the path everytime I want to save the other files and this is very annoying
I hope that this can be fixed in the next version 1.37.2
thank you very much

Geany defaults the save-as dialog to either:

1. the project base directory if a project is open, or
2. the directory set in Edit->preferences->General->Startup->Startup path if its set, or
3. leaves it to the GTK dialog which uses the working directory when Geany was started, which suits the command line folks.

Not sure what you mean by "registered" file, Geany does not have such a concept, do you mean the last file saved?

If so it probably would be possible to add either a setting Default to last save directory in Edit->Preferences->Files->Saving files where there are already a bunch of file saving checkboxes and/or a button on the dialog to select that directory with one click since the dialog needs to be shown anyway to get the filename.

Just needs somebody to contribute it.

I have implemented the code for this feature, however this is the first time that I create something for an open source project. What are my next steps? How do I submit this code for revision?
