I have implemented a solution, by adding a filter to the file chooser to only list .iso and.ISO files. I think this is enough and remembering the last directory used is not necessary. The question for me is, do we only allow iso/ISO files, or something else?

I’m not sure to understand why you finally said this was unnecessary (I would still stay it’s always good to remember the last directly) and why filtering ISO images only works as a replacement but I don’t really care since this file chooser will be used only rarely :)

So it all looks good to me! (I didn’t test it though.)

Filtering .iso and .ISO is clearly enough I think.

Assigning to anonym, hoping this can make it into Tails 3.2.

Putting this on his radar for 3.2 then.

Works great! Cheers!

Only the merge remains, but since I bundled this with other branches, we’re blocked.
