Preference to choose Start Folder

Why is it that, after 15 years, it is still not possible to specify which folder Bridge should open on startup? It's such an easy preference to provide.

For example, in FastStone Image Viewer, the choices for which folder to open on startup are:

System Default

Specified

So how come a free software can do this whereas the mighty Adobe cannot. It is so frustrating.

You can either hardcode a different folder or add a dialog to choose your preferred folder. This just loads the Desktop folder when you quit Bridge so on the next open, it will be on the Desktop.

#target bridge
if(BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge'){
try{
function appQuit(event){
if(event.location == 'app' && event.type == 'close'){
var thumb = new Thumbnail(Folder('~/Desktop'));
app.document.thumbnail = thumb;
}
return{handled:false};
}
app.eventHandlers.push({handler: appQuit});
}
catch(e){
alert(e + ' ' + e.line);
}
}

OK, thanks for that info, much appreciated, but how / where do I do that? I see 'Startup Scripts' in Preferences but I don't see a way to add any new script.
