How to change default folder used for strip (joined images)

[gendalf]

It is always some older folder for export, neither current folder of the used images nor a predefined one.

you means the default folder used by save dialog?

[gendalf]

@xnview yes, for some reason for strips the destination save folder offers neither the source files folder, nor the default saving folder, but some other - much older - previously used place.

ok i'll check

[xnview]

you means when you 'save 'as the result of joined images in edit mode?

[gendalf]

"Save as"
"export"
both are forwarding to previous save location, instead of current folder.
I'd like files to default to source folder when saving with either option.

perhaps better is to add Output from Split dialog??

Is there any solution for this?

that may help and kinda unify tools dialogs a little bit more

[xnview]

so you would like to use current folder when saving created joined image?

[user0]

something like this:

• align controls

• 'current folder' shall be default path
  - determining current folder may be tricky when there are files from multiple folders, probably use 1st file as source
  - once user changes folder - use it until user clear it, then (on tool restart) auto-paste current folder
  
  side note: 'current folder' can be worded in Folder field in gray as hint text, but only in cases when there are multiple current folders possible (eg in Batch convert), otherwise its better to show explicit path

user0, makes more sense in the actual export window, where the export button is that leads to saving dialogue.

have you tried to check?
☑ For 'Save as', use original pathname
in Settings > General > File operations > Save

[velbloud]

☑ For 'Save as', use original pathname

Even with the "use original pathname" ticked, it always defaults to the last used folder instead.
