Description Bert Cuzeau 2025-04-18 12:52:55 UTC
Description:
The last update broke (again) the default location where file are saved (as) and exported (pdf). This is messy and horribly annoying;
The default location MUST be the current location of the document edited.
Please restore this ASAP.
Thx

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a document
2. export directly as pdf
3. enjoy the bad location used :-( (maybe MRU)

Actual Results:
The files are saved in seemingly random directories ! Good luck to locate them.
It seems to be the MRU location, which is a very bad choice.
I think it's a regression of something that was fixed long ago.

Expected Results:
the default location for files (export, save as etc) should be the current document's ldirectory.


Reproducible: Always
