How can I specify the working directory in GUI mode in the command line?

If I start plantuml in GUI mode (option -gui), there seems to be no command line option to specify the path to the files to process. Always the last used path is used again. Thus, if I change a lot between projects, I always have to navigate to the right path again and again. Do I miss something or is there no way to specify this on the command line?

It's not possible with the current release.
However, with the last beta on https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar
You can use:
java -jar plantuml.jar -gui /some/directory
