File picker does not open the suggested location in windows 8 surface

Question

The file picker in windows 8 surface does not open the suggested start location for the second time after a file is opened or a file opened in any sub directories using the same. (using javascript).

How do I reset the start location every time I call the file picker (File Browser) using javascript ??

Answer 1

This is expected. The suggested start location is a suggestion. After the first use it will remember the user's choice.

Heres how I do it in C++, hopefully you can convert it to C#

	FileOpenPicker^ openPicker = ref new FileOpenPicker();
	openPicker->ViewMode = PickerViewMode::List;   //or Thumbnail;
	openPicker->SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId::PicturesLibrary;
    openPicker->FileTypeFilter->Append(".txt");
