Description Patrick Silva 2019-03-08 15:49:05 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a folder located out of my home containing several avatars.
Every time I use "Load from file..." feature in User Manager I need
to navigate to the same folder because the file dialog always use my home
as initial path.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. search for "user manager" in the apps launcher and open it
2. click on your current avatar, select "Load from file..."
3. choose a file located out of your home
4. repeat the step 2

OBSERVED RESULT
We can notice that the path of the file chosen in the step 3 was not remembered.

EXPECTED RESULT
user manager always remembers the last used folder.

kcms/users: Remember last-used location in image picker dialog

Use the state config for this. Feels like rather a lot of boilerplate,
but oh well.
