file transfer: remember local and remote paths

[andrisi]

Really simple, but annoying thing is that I have to navigate to the right folders every time I open the file transfer windows. it will always default to the root. Could you remember the local and remote paths at least in the same session? Thanks a lot.

I vote, yes

Thanks! Can you include this in the next RC?

My additional recommendations for file transfer enhancements, in my order of preference:

1 - make it so the filelists can be sorted by clicking on the column headers. e.g. clicking on "modified" sorts the list by date.

2 - make the remote & local path fields editable. If there's a typo in the entered path then either throw back an error, or go as far down the entered path as possible (i.e. change directory) before indicating the error.
2a - Above-&-Beyond Feature, for the local machine, anyway: incorporate the autocomplete feature found in many file-open interfaces when editing the path field on the local machine.

3 - Either "gray out" the main VNC window when the FT window is open, or -- I don't know if this is possible -- make windowing such that the FT window is always in front of -- never behind -- the main window.
3a - Actually, this would be good for the client list window too. That little bugger dives to the bottom window layer, and if you forget about him, you wonder why the "List All Clients" menu command stopped working. (Maybe for this guy, at least bring him to the front if he's already open when you do the "List All Clients" menu command )

Thanks for considering!
