Bug Description
Inkscape version: 0.44
Reproduction:
1. Run inkscape in some directory:
/home/me/
2. Draw something.
3. Select File -> Save As
Some strange directory (seems to be taken from the history of files edited
in the past) is offered for saving instead of /home/me/
There is no easy way to get to the current directory. This behaviour is
inconsistent with other programs.

I investigated this a bit. It seems that the behavior is that when a user preferences. xml:
saves a file, the path where they saved it is recorded in
~/.inkscape/
<group
default= "org.inkscape. output. svg.inkscape"
append_ extension= "1"
path="/ tmp/inkscape" />
id="save_as"
Then, whenever the 'Save as' dialog is loaded up again, this XML
configuration info is used to determine which directory path to use.
To me, it seems fairly logical that saved files go in the same place, but
then again I personally think that your proposed way (using current
directory) is preferable. This behavior may be the desired, working
behavior, I don't know.
By the way, I think the files which determine this are: filedialog. cpp and file.cpp
dialogs/
