Description richard pratt 2025-09-04 23:17:29 UTC 
Description:
libreoffice 25 writer SAVE-AS defaults to saving in the last used folder; 
it would be better (in my opinion) if the default was the folder of the "original" file - as was the case in earlier versions; 
or at least to have the option of setting this 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a document
2.change it
3.SAVE-AS

Actual Results:
the new file is not saved in the folder of the original file but in the folder where you last made a save; 

Expected Results:
it would be better if the new file were (default) saved in the folder of the original file


Reproducible: Always
