The only caveat is you must save a new notebook at least once so it has an official filename. I would like to make this the default activity but am not sure how to do it. I am also not sure what impact it will have when multiple notebooks are open in different directories. Other people just use: filename = NotebookDirectory[] <> inputFileName; This is done anytime a file is accessed. It is almost becoming faster for me to use FileNames[] than it is to open an Explorer window to look at the current directory. Because I am staying in Mathematica more and more, I prefer to have the directory default to current directory.
