           Summary: "New" command should default to the directory of the
                    currently active source file
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: zcu2k001 at sneakemail.com


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-pre7

Whenever I create a new file in KDevelop, either through one of the items in the New File pane or by clicking File->New..., the default directory is my project's root directory. Since many of my source files reside in deeply nested directories of my project root directory, I always have to make my way down there again every time I want to create a new file. The "New File" dialog - in both the File->New and "New File" pane cases - should default to the directory of the currently active source file open. If there is no currently active source file open, only then should I default to the project root directory. This would save me and I'm sure many other users a lot of time looking for the right directory every time.
