[COLUG] Linux behavior problem

I am using Kubuntu connected to a Windows network and am cataloging 
photos. My procedure is to open a directory, preview an image, select 
the image, copy it to clipboard, go to another window where I am 
collecting photos, and paste the photo into the collection.

Everything works well, except when I return to the photo subdirectory 
and then backup one directory to the master directory, the focus goes 
back to the beginning of the directory. I then have to remember where I 
left off, and find the next subdirectory. I have close to 1000 
subdirectories so zooming to the bottom 1000 times is very time consuming.

In windows, the focus always goes back to the current subdirectory, so I 
just move to the next one and go.

I hate to say that I finally have found something that Windows does 
better than Linux.

Please prove me wrong and show me a way to reconfigure Linux to emulate 
this behavior.
