GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 481002
remember last location for "save as", "save a copy", "save", "open"
Last modified: 2016-12-08 16:35:47 UTC
E.g. I open an image stored in /media/graphics/work/animals/cat/mycat/christmas/cat.jpg Now, if I cut a part of the image and I paste it into a new image, then I click "save as" I get as default my home directory (in my case /home/paul/) which is very annoying since I'd like to saved the modifed image in the same folder (last location) I've just opened a few seconds before. I need to re-navigate the whole tree to select the directory, loosing a bunch of time. The usability improvement I', suggesting is to always remember the last location where the user opened or saved a file. E.g. I open a file from /media, then I manipulate it and create a new image fom it, I save as I should be already in /media/graphics. If I create a folder "temp" and save the file there, then click "open" I'd like to be aleady in /media/graphics/temp (last location)... see what I mean? Please do this improvement. I'm talking about saving a lot of clicks and time to the users. Other information:
Might make sense to discuss this again with the usability experts on the mailing-list. Bugzilla is not the right place for such discussion though. Closing as duplicate of bug #310220. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 310220 ***
