While this isn't a bug, it makes using the program more cumbersome.

If I open up a package file, say Sim03.package, and rt-click on an item in the Resource List and select "extract", when the File Save dialog opens it is set to the same path as the source package. Usually, I navigate to some other directory, and save it there.

If I pick other items from this same package, the path to my previous save directory sticks.

But, if I open a different package, say Sims04.package, the default path when I try to extract has set itself to the source directory again.

This makes tracking and saving different pieces from the game files harder.

It appears as if each time a new package is opened a new instance is thrown, and that initializes the file paths again.

What I really want is this to become a global variable... and perhaps saved on exit for the next time I run SimPE.

Thanks, and I hope you can consider adding this in the future.

I second this wish.  Smile
