You will note that if you navigate to the 4.1. install dir with
an image to start up squeak, then quit and try it again
the dialog will have the 4.1 dir as default. Windows seems
to remember the last directory used which is then the
default one.

At least this is how it behaves here.

If that would be annoying we need more cooperation between
the installer and the windows VM. The installer could write
the install location into a registry key and the VM could
use that (if it exists, since there may be a manual installed VM).

The problem was, "last directory used" doesn't apply: it was the first
occurrence of that dialog, for the newly-installed instance of Squeak.
But it was opening with an old location, not the install dir where I'd
just saved an image.

Ian sent me this, off-list:

> It's obviously not the expected behaviour. Are you sure you've tried the
latest installer officially available? I made sure proper directories are
passed on on the last one, Squeak 4.1 rc1.
http://ftp.squeak.org/trunk/install/

and it turns out I was using an earlier version of the installer; when
I uninstalled it and tried again with the latest, and the image-chooser
dialog behavior is now as expected.

cheers,
Kevin
