Description Guillaume Castagnino 2025-02-01 20:35:41 UTC 
SUMMARY

When “Initial view on startup” is set to files, the file browser do not respect the ”initial location for files view” setting on startup

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. configure elisa to start on file view and configure some path for initial location for files view
2. quit and restart elisa

OBSERVED RESULT

The file browser shows the content of “/” instead of the configured folder (I assume the location is not set in the component at startup).
Click on the file browser, it will change directory to the configured one

EXPECTED RESULT

The file browser should show the content of the configured default folder for files view without the need to click on the file browser.
