Description Evert Vorster 2016-06-24 19:25:13 UTC 
It's only a small niggle, until you are in a huge directory structure. 
When hitting the "Browse" button in the render widget, it always starts at the same directory. 
It would be much nicer if the browse widget started at the directory already typed in, if it exists. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Render one file in a very deep directory structure. 
2. Click on "Browse" button in render widget to navigate to just one directory up or down. 

Actual Results:  
The browse always starts at the same directory

Expected Results:  
The Browser should start in the directory you rendered in last, ie the one that is already in the widget.

Seems to be a bug in KDE's KUrlRequester.
Following patch fixes it for me, I am going to create a ticket against KIO.

Thanks for looking into this for me. 
I'll wait for the next update of KDE, as I am in no mood to start running KDE from git. In the meantime I will close this ticket. 

Thanks!
