It may be a change in behavior, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a 
bug. That said, I've never seen the engine behave the way you say it 
does (or did.) For me, the engine has always defaulted to the 
defaultfolder if a previous folder is unavailable, though I admit I 
don't use your folder scheme and haven't tested your setup. The 
defaultfolder is either the last one you set it to, or by default, the 
one that contains the engine. On startup, unless you have a startup 
handler that changes it, it should open to the folder containing the 
engine. I haven't ever seen it do otherwise, and I'm not sure why yours 
is. Do you have the engine in the same folder? Or an alias to it? Or do 
you have a startup handler somewhere that is resetting the default 
folder path?

The MC IDE doesn't try to set any paths; it issues a one-line "answer 
file" command and just lets the engine manage the paths. I don't know if 
Rev does any manipulations before it opens its file dialog. Maybe it 
does. The MC IDE stays out of it though, and lets the engine open to the 
current defaultfolder. I wouldn't call this a bug. It's just how it works.
