Setting where "Import from Another Catalog" opens

Whenever I go to Import from Another Catalog, the window always opens to This PC / Documents. Is there a setting to change the location where it opens? Not a major problem, just a minor annoyance, as I always have to navigate to the card reader.

    Nope. I would also suggest that putting a catalog on a memory card is very unusual.

    We use memory cards as an easy way to move a small catalog of images from one computer to another. Usually when my boss edits a photo shoot, then gives it to me to do the final work.

    Other catalogs are "usually" located in a folder on the computer rather than on a card. I don't believe there is a way to force Lightroom to default to the card reader.
