I have a different problem. I am processing a series of screen shots 
through Gimp to desaturate them (color pages cost more then B/W 
pages.) Each time I retrieve a screen shot from:
/usr/local/active/scribusp
and desaturate it I must chase down the entire file tree to save it 
again in
/usr/local/active/scribusp.

I think Gimp should remember the directory from which an image was 
loaded. 

Gimp 2.6.11 on Linux.
