Hi,
I think I might have found a clue as to why my rg file dialog is
misbehaving. Firstly, I created a new user and then ran rg and
all was fine. So it is something to do with my user config.
I compared the .config/QtProject.conf files of the two users
and there looks to be a problem with mine:
[FileDialog]
history=@Invalid()
lastVisited=file:///blue/midi/rosegarden/covers/q-synth
qtVersion=5.15.2
viewMode=Detail
compared with the new user:
[FileDialog]
history=file:///home/rosy/rosegarden
lastVisited=file:///home/rosy/rosegarden
qtVersion=5.15.2
shortcuts=file:///home/rosy,
file:///home/rosy/.local/share/rosegarden/examples,
file:///home/rosy/.local/share/rosegarden/templates,
file:///home/rosy/Documents, file:///home/rosy/Music,
file:///home/rosy/rosegarden
sidebarWidth=70
treeViewHeader=@ByteArray(\0\0\0\xff\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\xec\0\0\0\x4\x1\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x64\xff\xff\xff\xff\0\0\0\x81\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x4\0\0\0\xff\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0?\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0@\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0n\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\x3\xe8\0\xff\xff\xff\xff)
viewMode=Detail
I thought this might be caused by a conflict with my rg build directory:
<home>/rosegarden
so I renamed that and deleted all the rg config files in .config/ and
.locale/share/ and replaced
my QtProject.conf with rosy's (changing the username as appropriate) but
this did not fix the
issue and the QtProject.conf file was overwritten with the above contents.
I hope that gives you a clue as to what is going on.
thanks,
Chuck.

I've done a little more digging and it seems like this could be
happening because garbage is getting passed to the file dialogs
(QFileDialog falls back on the current directory when it gets a
directory that doesn't exist and depending on how you launch rg, the
current directory might be the home dir). This seems unlikely, but
it's the only lead I've got at this point.
Some tests...
What version of Qt are you building against? In rg, go to Help >
About Qt... to get the version.
The code (FileDialog::getOpenFileName()) is reused in a number of
places. Try File > Import > Import MIDI File... Does this remember
its last path?
Run rosegarden from a command prompt while in an easily identifiable
directory. E.g. switch to /tmp and then run rosegarden:
$ cd /tmp
$ rosegarden
Now do a file open. Does this put you in /tmp?

And it still does for me.
This is reflected in the [Last_Used_Directories] config file
heading (which seems to contain the right values).
That's the place.
Currently the 'open file' dialogue takes me to my home directory
plus an out-of-date 'Recent' option and also opens in minimised
mode for some reason. I am working with v20.12 and v21.06.
I have never seen anything like this. I can't minimize the
window. And mine always takes me to the last place I was.
I have tried creating a new Rosegarden.conf and looked in vain for
settings to change this. Am I missing something?
Nope. Sounds like bad Qt libraries. The code is super simple for
this. We rely on Qt to do the real work here.
Do "File > Open Example..." and "File > Open Template..." work OK?
It's the same code, but it specifies a hard-coded path. Open
Example... should take you to ~/.local/share/rosegarden/examples.
Open Template... should take you to the same area, but the templates
directory.
Ted.
