Apply patch should remember the folder a patch was applied from last

[keith-hall]

Problem description

I quite often have a folder full of patch files I want to apply. Currently, if I want to apply multiple patches to the same repository, after navigating in the file picker for the first patch, I need to again manually navigate to the same folder for the second patch and so on. This is quite time consuming especially the more nested my folder containing patch files is...

Preferred solution

Remember the location where the previous patch file was applied from (even if it was applied in a different repo, it would still save me time), and if it exists, automatically open the file picker dialog in that same folder the next time I go to apply a patch. Bonus points if it gets stored in the session to remember it across restarts.

Alternatives

Have it configurable (globally, not per repo, would be fine) where the default folder to look for patch files would be. Always navigate the open file picker to that path when applying a patch.
