Ah yes, that was by design. there's now an option to follow the active tab, so if you close or change the path, it will follow the active tab's path (if any).
That would be cool, but it's not possible at the moment. I suggested it a while ago, so you can "sign in" to the petition if you want to. Maybe that will move it up the suggestion in its list—who knows?
Also, I'll probably release a test version for those interested. I kind of like that approach when developing scripts—TBH, this command's new version has just been sitting around collecting dust for a while. By working with people who are actually using it, I can focus better and get a clearer idea of what needs more or less attention.
