Description Oliver Grimm 2022-11-11 12:54:03 UTC
Description:
When running the presentation minimizer from the "Extra" menu, the FILESAVE dialog at the end of the dialog defaults to the user's home folder. I would expect the dialog to default to the path of the current file. Also since the "duplicate this file" checkbox is checked by default one may argue that most users would save the compressed file next to the original file, i.e. the current file's path.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. select "minimize presentation" from the Extra menu
2. complete all dialog steps
3. once you reach the FILESAVE dialog, have a look at the proposed path

Actual Results:
the FILESAVE dialog defaults to the user's home folder

Expected Results:
the FILESAVE dialog should default to the folder of the file that is being minimized


Reproducible: Always

This makes perfect sense to me, it would make it more logical and intuitive.

Was already the case in:
