Input / Output Tool - File Browse Initial Location

One of those small little annoyances that can add some extra time to development is how when you browse for a file (either with the Input Tool or Output Tool) it always defaults to the most recent location of where you either picked up a file or output a file.

Many times I have existing Input Tools or Output Tools that I simply need to repoint (meaning they already have a file location mapped to either read or write to.)  For these, it would be great if, when the user clicked to File Browse, the initial folder location displayed was the same folder where the current file is mapped to. 

Perhaps displaying the most recent folder in the file browse interface may be best suited for when a file has not been mapped yet.

This issue has been resolved in the latest minor update of Alteryx available from downloads.alteryx.com.  Please download the latest and let us know if there are other modifications to the file open initial location we should be considering.

Best Regards,
