Hmm. what does other emacs software do in that case ?
Since OTOH I can think of a situation where I run emacs when located on
a directory. from *scratch* buffer I launch notmuch-hello, then I press
'm' to compose new mail and c-x i (insert-file) ... Now I'd expect
to be located on the same directory instead of my mail buffer is suddenly
cd'd to totally different location (*)
Tomi
(*) that would be comparable annoying like my experience when using
ultimaker cura: have to run it with
$ HOME=$PWD /path/to/cura $PWD/file.stl
to have it working as i'd expect software to locate input and
output directories/files (it sure never default to current dir)
