If lots of people want something different, then that at least suggests that the current behaviour is 'non-optimal' for a large number. Of course some workflows will always require more clicks than others. The job of an Interface Designer is to gather data on how people use things, and create tools that serve those uses. He seems to be supporting the same proposal, not offering an alternative.

Indeed. It would make perfect sense if Affinity apps selected the 'home' folder of a document for the first export, and then remembered whatever export destination was ultimately selected for that document. That might not suit everyone, but it would surely be more useful to a larger number. I'd argue that the current behaviour is not the desired workflow for the majority of cases. "Most likely" functions usually involve the easiest/quickest method in user interfaces.

I frequently work on several projects over a period of time, and I might export a PDF from each one regularly. Whenever I export a PDF from Affinity Publisher, the file dialog presents me with the location that the last project used. It's really tedious to navigate to the correct folder every time. (Yes, macOS has a drop-down of recent folders, but it's not always there.) If each document remembered the export location that it used before, it would be a massive improvement.

Thanks. That's a tiny visual cue!

I want to import multiple PDF pages as pass-through images. If I use Place, I only get one page. If I use Open, that's a separate document, and not pass-through. If I use Document > Add Pages from File, that's also not pass-through. I also want the pages to be linked, not embedded. I have done this before, so I know it's possible, but it's completely escaped me, and is not immediately apparent from the UI. I've looked through multiple threads here with the same question, none of which have provided an answer. Non-pass-through PDFs still suffer from everything moving about and wrong glyph variants, as has always been the case with Affinity. Thanks
