1. QT ver. 5.14.2
2. File > Import > Import MIDI File: does not remember last path
either and behaves exactly like 'Open'
3. running commandline from /tmp does not open file dialog in /tmp (but
'Save As' has now forgotten last path
and opens minimised, including when subsequently running from menu).

I've done a little more digging and it seems like this could be
happening because garbage is getting passed to the file dialogs
(QFileDialog falls back on the current directory when it gets a
directory that doesn't exist and depending on how you launch rg, the
current directory might be the home dir). This seems unlikely, but
it's the only lead I've got at this point.
Some tests...
What version of Qt are you building against? In rg, go to Help >
About Qt... to get the version.
The code (FileDialog::getOpenFileName()) is reused in a number of
places. Try File > Import > Import MIDI File... Does this remember
its last path?
Run rosegarden from a command prompt while in an easily identifiable
directory. E.g. switch to /tmp and then run rosegarden:
$ cd /tmp
$ rosegarden
Now do a file open. Does this put you in /tmp?

And it still does for me.
This is reflected in the [Last_Used_Directories] config file
heading (which seems to contain the right values).
That's the place.
Currently the 'open file' dialogue takes me to my home directory
plus an out-of-date 'Recent' option and also opens in minimised
mode for some reason. I am working with v20.12 and v21.06.
I have never seen anything like this. I can't minimize the
window. And mine always takes me to the last place I was.
I have tried creating a new Rosegarden.conf and looked in vain for
settings to change this. Am I missing something?
Nope. Sounds like bad Qt libraries. The code is super simple for
this. We rely on Qt to do the real work here.
Do "File > Open Example..." and "File > Open Template..." work OK?
It's the same code, but it specifies a hard-coded path. Open
Example... should take you to ~/.local/share/rosegarden/examples.
Open Template... should take you to the same area, but the templates
directory.
