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

Post by gendalf »

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

@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.

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

"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.

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
