File dependent persistent file paths

Status: New

Currently, LabVIEW uses standard Windows "last path" mechanism to create the default persistent path when loading or saving files.

 

I would like to have this be made more user friendly, by having file specific persistent paths remembered by LabVIEW.  For example, individual persistent paths for Projects, VI's, Controls, etc.  This saves time navigating the file hiearchy when the file type has changed. 

 

Yes Windows has a Recent Documents folder in the file dialog, but it often is sluggish loading.  In one application that we write, we have six different persistent paths to make life easier for the end user.
