Ok.
Well, one should really head over to the processing people then. I kind of suspected that. Besides the GUI button remedies most of it, so it's not really that big of a deal.
Btw I just (re)discovered that when saving a sketch, at least the "save as" dialog goes to the correct folder.
EDIT: Also I think I posted this in the wrong sub forum, it should probably be under "bugs and suggestions"...
