I've been using Inkscape for the last eight years but have just upgraded to 1.4.1. Previously when I selected file->open it showed the contents of the last folder I opened a drawing from, now it shows a list of recent files. Is it possible to revert the behaviour to showing the contents of the last folder? The current behaviour is annoying as I now have to make several additional clicks to get to where I was working.
The installation of Inkscape is a clean new snap install on Ubuntu 24.04 as the computer has been rebuilt.
Thanks for the response. I've removed the snap install and installed it from the PPA. It has installed v1.4 but the file-open behaviour is now showing the last folder opened from which is what I want.

I'm not able to reproduce in Mint (or windoze).
I'd uninstall and install the PPA of 1.3.2: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.3.2/gnulinux/ubuntu/ppa/dl/
Version 1.4 has some layer bugs that veteran users will find super annoying.
Hi Tyler,
