Thanks for your suggestion.
We will see, if more people ask for this.

Remember Last Directory – limit scope to the default directory
(First of all thanks for such a great FTP client. Been using TC for a long time, semi-frustrated and this solves much of my issues.)
When configuring a Site, there is an option to Remember Last Directory. I suggest adding an option that the last directory would only be remembered if it is within the default Remote Directory, that is set up in the same form.
Reasoning:
I have a Site set up that I use to access projects on my webhosting, so I have the Remote Directory set up to the root directory, where those projects live.
Remembering last used directory is great since it saves me a lot of time when accessing the same project repeatedly. Sometimes, though, I veer off outside my projects root directory, to a completely different location on my webhosting that has nothing to do with the Site. When I close the session though, this location gets stored and next time when opening this Site, I am being put into this directory, that has nothing to do with my projects root.
Limiting the Remember option only to subdirectories of the default Remote Directory would solve this.

Counter-arguments:
- Just open a new session when you want to go elsewhere. - Yes, but often it is more convenient to use an existing one as opposed to opening a new session. Especially when you want to stay at the current local directory.
- Just uncheck the Remember Last Directory and you will always start in the desired Remote Directory. - Yes, but I find great value in starting where I left of instead of having to navigate there each time. I just want to ignore my last location if it is outside of what makes sense for the Site I am using.
