Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Default config file dialog to repo root

Modified the get_file_path function in kohya_gui/common_gui.py
to ensure that when you are opening a configuration file, the
file dialog defaults to the kohya_ss repository root if no
initial path or only a filename is provided.

If a full or relative path is already present in the input field,
the dialog will open in the specified directory as before.

This change improves your experience by starting the file search
in a more relevant location.
