[Feature] "Open File" dialog should remember latest location on Linux

What feature would you like to see?

The "Open File" dialog always chooses my home folder as the start location. Instead, I believe it should remember the last location from which I opened a file from.

https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex/issues/715 suggests this is the intended behavior. (#715 is about remembering a directory per dialog category. For me, nothing is remembered)

How will this feature be useful to you and others?

By not having to navigate to the same location, opening multiple files (with some time in between) will go faster.

OS: Fedora Linux 44 ImHex version: latest AppImage nightly as of August 24th, 2026
