OS: Windows 10 MuseScore: 3.3.0.8737

  1. Open an older MuseScore file in 3.2 or 3.3.
  2. Sometimes the open-dialaog appears in the foreground of the MuseScore screen.
    Thats ok and useful.

  3. But mostly the dialog is shown in the background of the main screen.
    If there are active windows on this screen - even MuseScore windows - the dialog is
    invisible and MuseScore "hangs" until the dialog is found and answered.

The second problem:
After that dialog, when such a file shall be saved, MuseScore ignores the original filename
and generates a new one according to the scores title.
Additionally, MuseScore "forgets" the original directory of the file, pointing to the standard directory.
In every case in the past I wanted to replace the older file with the new formatted one.

At least a wish for a new feature:
In every case in the past I answered the dialog above with "Yes".
It would be very helpful to have a checkbox in this dialog where
we can choose "Don't ask me again".
