            Bug ID: 133783
           Summary: FILEOPEN dialog does not show current working
                    directory
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dparsons at emerall.com

Sometimes I might have multiple files in one folder.  I want to open one file,
then within LibreOffice use File->Open (the FILEOPEN dialog box) to open the
next file.

But I cannot do that easily: the Open dialog does not show the working
directory that the current file was opened from.  This current directory is
shown in the Save dialog but not the Open dialog.

Instead, it shows some old folder that I used previously when I last opened
LibreOffice, and which is not relevant to the current work being done.

Alternative folders are listed down the pane on the left-hand side, but the
current working directory is not among them.

I expect the Open dialog to open on the directory that the current file comes
from, or at the very least to list that directory in the left-hand pane of
available folders.

This is on Debian unstable
LibreOffice 6.4.4.2  (1:6.4.4-1+b1)
Linux 5.6.7-1  (amd64)
gnome-session 3.36.0-2
libgtk-3-0 3.24.20-1
