Not a big deal but would be nice to set it to a more convenient directory.

FreeCAD 0.16 remembered the last path used but that behavior changed in FreeCAD 0.17. In the future likely some sort of solution will need to be implemented as reported here:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-AppImage/issues/3
That is for example when AppImage is being used to default to $HOME instead of $CWD. Or some property to be made available and if user sets the path for that to be used by default. There is additional Conda based Py3/Qt5 AppImage available on the GitHub releases page. ATM it works a bit differently in this regard. You can put the AppImage to a location like $HOME. And that location will be used as $CWD after.
