It seems strange that I couldn't find this bug reported so far, but I'm pretty positive it is one.
XnView MP 0.64 on Win7 x64 never remembers the last folder I saved a copy of an image to, either using "Save as..." or "Export...". This is the case even during one single session. The save dialogue always points to the directory that the current picture resides in. When saving or exporting, I switch to the directory I want to save to and confirm, but even when not doing anything at all before choosing to save again, the dialogue will be back pointing at the current image directory, and not the one I just saved to.
Whenever I save or export a file to a directory and then check the xnview.ini, SaveFolder in section [Viewer] is updated to that path. However, XnView MP never seems to read that value back again. I thought the problem could be due to paths containing spaces or special characters, or using forward slashes on a Window system, but the setting still isn't read when neither is the case.

Re: Doesn't remember last save directory (Windows)
I assume that this is same problem that I have. For some reason it still doesn't remember the last save location when using Export function.
How to reproduce:
- Drag some images to XnViewMP from same location.
- Save the one of those images to different location using the Export function. (By default it seems to use same folder where the original image was.)
- Save another opened image using the Export function. It will not remember the last save location and gives image source folder instead.
Also XnViewMP crashes when I select bestfit option in Exporter.
Platform:
Windows 8.1 Pro x64, XnViewMP 0.72 x64
Excluding those two issues it runs great vs. XnView.

Re: Doesn't remember last save directory (Windows)
I still have this problem in the Export dialogue on 0.78 x64 (Jan 12 2016), although it seems fixed for Save As.
Toggling For 'Save as', use original pathname switches between the path of the original file and the last used save path when using File > Save as…, but the setting is ignored for File > Export which will always point to the original location (even when exporting, closing the Export dialog, and immediately exporting again, it will revert). I assume the setting should also be used for the Export dialogue?

Re: Doesn't remember last save directory (Windows)
I think this is still not working properly (XnviewMP 0.82, Windows 10 Pro 64bit)? When I export a image the save location always reverts to the directory where the original image was located. It's rather large pain in the ass when you want to export multiple images. Save As option seems to remember the last used location though.xnview wrote:ok, i'll change for export tooAnamon wrote:I still have this problem in the Export dialogue on 0.78 x64 (Jan 12 2016), although it seems fixed for Save As.

Re: Doesn't remember last save directory (Windows)
It looks like both at doing it. The difference is that when I export from browser it always resets the location to desktop. If I export from viewer (i.e. open a single image directly with XnViewMP) it always reset the location to the directory where the original opened image was located.xnview wrote:Export from browser or viewer?Tup3x wrote: I think this is still not working properly (XnviewMP 0.82, Windows 10 Pro 64bit)?

Re: Doesn't remember last save directory (Windows)
ok, in fact, export use 'save as' location, if you 'save as' a picture before, this is the folder used. I fix it...Tup3x wrote:It looks like both at doing it.

Re: Doesn't remember last save directory (Windows)
I see... Now both exports seem to always default to that last "save as" location (I wonder what was going on). It would indeed be great if it would remember the last save location from export too.xnview wrote:ok, in fact, export use 'save as' location, if you 'save as' a picture before, this is the folder used.

Re: 0.64 Win: Doesn't remember last save directory
The "problem" with the Export folder is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.84 beta 1. Could you please try and confirm the fix, Tup3x?
