I dont think this should be the default behavour, but if te start screen is set to the file browser then im OK with this also.
edit: I had a quick look at doing this and it can be done in two ways.. neither is very nice :p
The first is moving the current_folder buffer from root_menu.c into global_settings (or glabal_status) the other is doing "extern char *current_folder" in settings_list.c

More efficient in generating discussion? Yes. More efficient in actually getting the change made? No.

here's a feature-request-but-not-really: how about a new subforum specifically for the discussion of existing and/or hypothetical feature requests? the forum is the first place many people come, and IMHO is quite a bit easier to hold long conversations in. and multiple actual feature requests can be discussed together in one forum topic, per peoples' preference. Consider that many more novice users may have good ideas for feature requests, but which may need input and discussion to be boiled down to something feasible, and perhaps more experienced users could occasionally take up the task of drafting the request in FS. I can think of no real reason not to provide such an option, anyway...
also, hopefully the general discussion area wouldn't be quite as cluttered (knock on wood) with feature requests...
Llorean:
So, if someone had an idea for a User Interface improvement, and wanted feedback for it before filing a proper feature request, why wouldn't they just post:
"I'm kinda thinking the user interface could be improved by having the main menu keep track of how many times you've clicked on each item, ever, and sort them based upon that so that which item you use the most automatically drifts toward the top. Before I file a request for this, anyone see any real problems with it, or have any improvements upon it?"
I don't disallow discussion of feature requests in their proper place, and having it this way means that people interested in User Interface know where to look for everything UI related rather than just some of it. I'm not sure how a feature request forum would improve anything other than by confusing people into thinking it's the proper place to file feature requests when it's not.
People are already bad enough about posting them in the right place without another ambiguity thrown into the mix.
Falco98:
well i guess part of my idea is that if there were a forum, it could kinda be a catch-all for users who may have a good feature request idea in general, but might not know enough about the workings of the software to be able to set up an official FR correctly, or perhaps just have a more experienced user do it for them. Of course you may be right, that it would just be redundant and confusing in a way, but I think it's possible that it could do positive things enough to outweigh those worries. Dunno, but maybe it's something to think about (unless of course it's been debated already ages ago, which wouldn't surprise me)...
