Description

Since it used a lot in custom interfaces to open data the user may have already worked with it would make more sense to default to browsing default save directory, then fall back on the first data search directory.

  • Status changed from inprogress to verify
  • Resolution set to fixed

To test:

  • Configure a default save directory (e.g. via Mantid.user.properties)
  • Open any interface that uses MWFunFiles (e.g. Indirect > Data Reduction > Moments)
  • Click the "Browse" button, the current directory should be your default save directory
  • Comment out the defaultsave.directory line in your Mantid.user.properties file
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3, this time the directory should be whatever the first data search directory is set to (the first listed under datasearch.directories in Mantid.user.properties)
