1. Re: default location of saved worksheets/scripts.
that's your default temp folder
once you pick a directory to open or save to, that will be the new default, with a list of running directories down the left

Dear Puzzled,
If you want the File -> Open dialog's Location drop-down list to default to a specific directory, just add this to your sqldeveloper installation's sqldeveloper.conf file:
AddVMOption -Djava.io.tmpdir=<desired_directory>
Not sure if other features use java.io.tmpdir, so there may be unexpected side-effects.

Nope. It still defaults to the temp dirctory, forcing me to navigate to where the scripts are saved.

Nope. It still defaults to the temp dirctory, forcing me to navigate to where the scripts are saved. And yes, I did restart SQL Dev after modifying the conf file.
I have now backed out the change.

19.1 on a mac
SQL Worksheet
Open .. navigates to a random folder, opens file.
Hits open dialog again.
I'm starting at same random folder from just previous go.
Are you not seeing the same, or perhaps you're doing something differently?
The default place to look for scripts has no connection to where SQLDev looks to open or save files to.

Ah, that works - within a SQL Dev session. I was expecting persistence, such that the next time I open SQL Dev, then 'file > open' would default back to my chosen location. I do see that it saved the location as a 'recent' in the list on the left, and that will suffice. Thanks for the help.

Glad to see you are satisfied with the default behavior that thatJeffSmith-Oracle described. As for overriding java.io.tmpdir, it definitely works for me if I have an open worksheet.
With no worksheet open then, yes, the Open dialog's Location selector defaults to something even worse than AppData\Local\Temp.
Cheers
