Export Dialog - Remember last folder
I'd like to see the 'File | Export...' dialog remember the last folder saved to. As it is, it seems to use the last folder used by the 'File | Save As...' dialog.

Hum, don't know. Which solution is better?
Use the original folder or the last folder?

Same problem as for "Save as...". I think the solution is a smart preset, see topic Usability: Default values for directory fields.xnview wrote:Hum, don't know. Which solution is better?

Re: Export Dialog - Remember last folder
So many years later, this is still the same? I absolutely hate having to navigate away from XnView's install folder every single time I export anything that I imported from the clipboard, to the point where I use it less often than I would like to. It seems to always default to the install folder for new images.

I support the request for a Default "Export To" directory in addition to the existing Default "Copy To" directory and Default "Move To" directory.
You may also want to deactivate Purge 'Most Recently Used Files & Directories' on exit in Tools » Options... » Interface » Interface » Recent lists.
Have you tried setting the Startup Directory to Current (Tools » Options... » General » Operations » Startup) as a workaround?foxyshadis wrote:I absolutely hate having to navigate away from XnView's install folder every single time I export anything that I imported from the clipboard, to the point where I use it less often than I would like to.
