Description Viktor 2025-07-17 11:57:27 UTC 
Description:
In the last 25.2.xx versions, each time you use "Save as" or "Export to PDF", the current folder of the opened file is used for the "Save as" and PDF export location.

In version 25.8.0.1 (x86_64), this doesn't work anymore, so the suggested 'Save as' folder is used for any file you have saved before. The same applies to PDF export.

This means that you always have to navigate to the correct folder (usually the same folder as the file that is currently open).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see description
2.
3.

Actual Results:
1. see description

Expected Results:
function like in last 25.2


Reproducible: Always
