SUMMARY

The folder presented on starting the import procedure is always the last one accessed.
So, when I import several *.kim files in one session, the file open dialog for the *.kim
file shows the last *destination* folder for the images, not the folder the *.kim files reside in. 

It would be nice if KPA could remember where the kim file came from and propose to read the next kim file from there.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create 2 kim files
2. from another database import the first one and select/create a destination folder.
3. finish the import procedure
4. start to import the next kim file

OBSERVED RESULT
The folder presented to find the kim file is the destination folder from step 2.

EXPECTED RESULT
The folder presented to find the kim file should be the same as for the first kim file.
