I've adjusted DrRacket so that the initial current-directory is now
the user's home directory (when the file is not saved).
Currently on Linux, the "(current-directory)" seems to be the current
working directory of the process from which DrRacket was started, and I rely
on this somewhat in a few places. Will this be changing?
Why I ask... One way in which I somewhat rely on this is in a large
Racket-based software system, for which developers typically have a few
branches checked out on their workstation, there is a "drracket" Make target
that invokes the correct version of DrRacket with several environment
variables set appropriately for that particular checkout. The current
working directory for Racket is in the directory for that checkout., and
this is the default when they go to pick a source code file to open. Were
this default directory to instead be their home directory, not only would
that be aggravating, but it would also likely lead to user error, when they
accidentally go to the wrong checkout tree and view/edit files there, rather
than in the checkout they thought they were working in.
The file dialogs should not be changing. current-directory is a
parameter and the value of that parameter for DrRacket itself is not
changed. It is only the initial value of that parameter when running a
program inside DrRacket (and the program is in an unsaved file). In
any case, I'm unsure of the relationship between that parameter and
the file dialogs -- there may not be one; it may only be that on linux
they both get initialized in the same way.
If you see different behavior than that, tho, please do let us know.
Robby
