Default Import Audio Search defaults to "This Mac"

Hi all, when I open the Import Audio window and enter something to search for (upper right hand corner), it defaults back to "This Mac" as opposed to the folder I just selected. Basically, I have to switch it back after I enter the search criteria. Is this a known bug, or do I have something set wrong?

Yeah, it starts there, but after selecting what location to search in, and entering the search criteria, it switches to "This Mac" and I have to click on the location I just entered (see attachment)

Seems to be a Finder issue, check your Finder preferences which folder/location should be selected when a new Finder window opens

yep, just tried changing them all around, both the "New Finder Window Show" and the "when performing a search"... makes no difference (unless I have to restart the finder after every time)
