I do all using command line and Inkscape seems to be the only software under Linux which try to fight against that.

You don't have an idea of how many time I saved a file and I had to restart Inkscape to know where my file is since it was not in the current directory.

I think Inkscape has reduced my life expectancy each time I shooted because I tried to open a new file by typing "inkscape apple.svg", I get an error message and when I save it save it to "drawing.svg". Or because, when already running, I want to open files and of course the open file interface opens to a directory which is never the current directory so I have to click hundreds of times (at least) to come back to my current directory.

So please, please, please, add an option or whatever, but use current directory when inkscape starts from a term.
