To reproduce:

1. Close Mp3tag.
2. Use the Windows context menu to open Mp3tag by right clicking on a file or folder.
3. Observe: The Tag Panel directory field is blank. Also, the directory is not added to the drop-down list.

I'm not sure when this behaviour started, but as late as ver 2.85 the directory field was always populated when Mp3tag was opened using the context menu.

Mp3tag ver 2.88e  
Windows 10 Home ver 1803

I can confirm that behaviour.  
The directory field does not even get filled if you select the track.  
If you, on the other hand, d&d the same file into Mp3tag, the directory field is filled.

I've fixed this with the latest Development Build [Mp3tag v2.88f](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455). Thanks for reporting!
