				Is there a way to set a default folder for opening and saving files?  For one reason or another I have to reopen Gimp maybe a freeze in Gimp or my computer has to be booted for some reason. 
 
Every time I open Gimp it wants to go to recent files and then I have to navigated down through a file tree to get to the folder that contains my files.  Then I have to remember to navigate once again to save a file to the same file folder or files end up where I don't want them.  Once I do it once in a session it remembers for the rest of the session. 
 
Can I set this up to remember the same folder I use for all of my Gimp work?  I haven't found anything in edit preferences.

				Last night I decided to install GIMP 2.10.28 from the Panda Jim PPA.  
Thanks to all the information and files provided by Rich, it was a straightforward and simple process. 
 
I now have a fully working installation with the latest GMIC.

				A plug-in I'm developing (in pythonfu), which does batch processing on multiple xcf files, performs several times faster when I use ~3 threads compared to when I use all my CPU threads (32) or some good percentage of it (24). Not sure why, I guess either the RAM or SSD drive is choking when I use too many threads. 
 
Right now I can control the number of threads by going in Gimp's preferences but I would like to keep it high when I use Gimp's interface and low for my plug-in, so I would need a way to change or override it from within the code of my plug-in, so as to not do it manually every time I use it. 
 
I didn't find a config file where this could be changed via text replacement, nor did I find any command for it. 
 
Also I can't do it by forcing the entire plug-in to use less threads because it contains a progress bar which needs some CPU power in order to not freeze. 
 
Is it at all possible ?
