The file open panel (and many other panels) should return to their last location when used multiple times in a row.

STEPS:
1. File -> Open
2. Navigate to where your scores are
3. open a file
4. File -> Open

RESULTS:
In step #1, on the Mac, the Open Panel starts in /Applications (?!?!?!?!). It should start somewhere else..
In any case, in step #4, it again goes to /Applications instead of the directory I selected in step #2.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
In step #4, the Open Panel displays the same directory as I navigated to in step #2

Is this using a nightly build? Which version of MacOS? I cannot reproduce this on Windows using a recent build - it works as expected for me. Initial open for a session is the Scores directory configured in Preferences, and after opening a file, default for subsequent opens changes to most recently loaded-from directory.

Regarding 'Applications' appearing in the Open box - yes, I think this may have been introduced in the recent move to Qt 5.2. I noticed a few days ago, but held off from reporting. If Marc cannot reproduce, it could be Mac-exclusive.

Although the title maybe the case (a separate report?), I think it could actually be 'Score directory opens Applications folder'.

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (ab14241) - Mac 10.7.5.

The issue with /Applications was solved quite some time ago.
The remaining issue was that on Windows and Mac, we didn't record the last open path. Now we do.
