So this what says Tk doc for tk_getOpenFile :

"-initialdir directory
Specifies that the files in directory should be displayed
when the dialog pops up.  If this parameter is not specified, then
the files in the current working directory are displayed.  If the
parameter specifies a relative path, the return value will convert the
relative path to an absolute path.   This option may not always work on
the Macintosh.   This is not a bug.  Rather, the General Controls
control panel on the Mac allows the end user to override the
application default directory.  "

I have no idea how a Mac works. If someone with one can look at this...
