I like this feature. However i also agree with Michael about being 
configurable. I think a combobox in options like

Default file dialog directory:
* Last used directory
* Current file's directory
* Project directory

The last one can enable a checkbox below (will be disabled for the first 
two):
* Use current file's directory for non project files
