I usually open pd from inside ~/pd_patches and have subdirectories in there. If I make a new patch it's often interacting with another patch already in the same folder.
Before, on Mac OS X at least, it defaulted to "/". I've changed that to "~", which I think is a lot more useful. Perhaps it could be like this:
- if no other patches open, then "~".
- if other patches are open, then use the folder of the current top window
Yes, that's better, using "~" as default. And any new patch is most likely to be saved in the folder of the topmost already-open patch. And the default directory should also be a specifiable option in the preferences somewhere, not hard-coded, in the interest of total control.
