From 5793dc20704e312e4ace137f94d60428210706c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Fletcher Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:42:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 08/10] start "open session" chooser in parent directory of current session Copied'n'pasted from the code for the new session dialogue page: perhaps the check for existing session should be factored out, but this at least works for now.
