Hello,

I was talking about the directory proposed in scinotes. In fact it is 
the directory of the last saved file which might be ok. But a way to 
quickly jump to the current directory would be nice. Maybe using the 
native file explorer would be better...

It would help but I'm used to dock scinotes and it's boring to repeat 
this every time I launch scilab.
