The standard file path of the print to file dialog is always the user's home directory. It would be useful to have an option to change that standard path, e.g. to print to the desktop by default. Especially when printing multiple PDFs in a row having to change the path each time can be really annoying.

Another option would be to make the dialog remember the path last chosen by the user.

I would also welcome an option to change the standard file format from ps to pdf.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
