I'm storing it somewhere else than in ~. At the moment the file open dialog always points to ~, also if I previously loaded a file in a different directory.

I'd like digikam to store standard directories for curves files and others. Or at least remember the directory previously visited.

At the moment all KFileDialogs in image plugins point to KGlobalSettings::documentPath(). We should consider using one of the automatic alternatives offered by kdelibs:

I currently workaround this by extending the 'places' in the open dialog, so it's 1-click thing then.

IMO, it'd be better if there was a thumbnails widget alongside the curves dialog, where all curves within a pre-defined directory (or ideally standard+custom dir merged) would be shown. Of course one could still modify+save custom curves...
