I noticed that the "file chooser" that pops up, for the user to select where to put the Flutter SDK, can be "anywhere" and often less than ideal location. For example, it opened up a directory deep inside my project.

It would be awesome if, when the user chooses "Download SDK", that the File Chooser opens up default to their Home Directory. That way, flutter is put into $HOME as a reasonable default.

This is on a Mac, BTW.
