Archive Browser, Map Browser: File chooser reflects file in edit pane, not in browser pane

I have "Directory of edited file" selected as my setting for File chooser opens in". This has the effect that the file chooser for the Archive Browser reflects the currently edited file, not the currently edited *archive*. The behavior I want (and expected) would be that the archive browser File open (as opposed to the main File open) would reflect the location of the currently edited archive, not edited file. Those two will almost never have a useful relationship to each other. In fact, for the archive browser, I'd much rather have the File open reflect the last opened *archive* location since it's likely I'm opening multiple archives from the same location (e.g., IDML packages or DOCX files for a set of chapters for a book).

Hello, We will set the directory of the last opened archive for the action Open Archive of the Archive Browser view. Thank you for reporting the problem, Sorin ekimber wrote:
