Better path detection and selection in the UI upon spawning new session

Open lily-de opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Description A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When you open a new window in the Goose app, it is not in the same directory as the previous window. It goes back to ~/Users/<username>

To Reproduce

  1. I'm working in ~/Users/ldelalande/Development/goose/crates
  2. I want to start a new session in the same directory so I click cmd+N
  3. New window starts up in ~/Users/ldelalande

Expected behavior When I open a new window, I'd like to not have to re-go through the Finder window again to select the same directory as before.

Alternatively, we open the new window and the path button on the bottom right shows a list a list of recent paths + option to select new path via Finder could be an approach. Or option to pin certain projects paths + new Path via Finder.

Hi @lily-de! I'm new to contributing to this project and would like to work on this issue as my first contribution. I understand the problem involves ensuring that a new window in the Goose app opens in the same directory as the previous one, rather than reverting to the default home directory. Before I begin, could you please confirm that no one else is currently working on this and let me know if there are any specific guidelines or preferences for this fix?

Apologies @DevyanshMalhotra if you were planning on taking this work, there doesn't seem to be a way for outside contributors like us to set Assignees. I went ahead and pushed up a possible solution as it's been a few weeks since this was opened.
