I should not have to choose a working ePub in order to 'remember' the folder.
Every time you open or save a file in Sigil (not including images!), that folder is remembered. When you go to open or save a new file, the last stored folder location is used as the "default", that is, that folder will be displayed when you open the save/open dialog. If Sigil exits correctly (that is, doesn't crash), then the locations of these folders will be stored on disk (exactly where depends on the platform) and used the next time Sigil starts up, too.

Images are the only exception. The last folder from which you loaded an image is not currently stored. It will be in the next release.

You end up having not just one working directory, but three: one for loading files, one for saving files and one for importing images from. Of course, you can make all three the same.

I believe this implements your desired functionality and more.
