[IPython-dev] changing working directory from IPython server

Brian, I sure hope I am doing something wrong.
What I do is click on 'To import a notebook, drag the file onto the listing
below or *click here*. When I click there, a window pops up, I got to the
directory with my ipython file, click on it, and then it shows up in the
list of files, with next to it a blue Upload button. When I click on the
Upload button the notebook is copied to the directory where I started the
IPython Notebook.

But I don't want to copy the Notebook to that directory (also cause the
data files associated with the notebook are still in the old directory). Am
I doing something wrong?

The notebook shouldn't behave as you describe in 2.1. Notebooks should be
saved in the directory they are created. There is something fishy going
on...
