0125 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 When I open Affinity Designer with a new document, Export Persona correctly updates the destination folder for the relevant file. But if I close the document, leave Affinity Designer open, and open a new file, Affinity Designer will export to the directory of the previous file what causes confusion when later searching for the exported files on the hard drive. I am not sure if this is intended behavior or not, if so please ignore this message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted January 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi 0125, The last folder you was in is the one that gets remembered and displayed when you re-enter the Windows Open/Save dialog. This is what I was getting when trying to reproduce. For example the second time I went to export, the folder that was displayed was the same location as where the file I had just opened was stored. Was you starting new documents, or opening existing ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0125 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have two existing projects, Project A and Project B. Expected behavior: Exporting from Project A saves to Project A's folder; exporting from Project B saves to Project B's folder, e.g.: C:/Project A/file_of_ProjectA.jpg C:/Project B/file_of_ProjectB.jpg This is what happens when I open either Project A or Project B 'from scratch', that is Affinity Designer was closed beforehand. Observed behavior when I first open Project A, close Project A but leave Affinity Designer open, then open Project B, and make the first export of the second project: C:/Project A/file_of_ProjectB.jpg I obviously can change the export path manually to Project B, but if I forget to do so I must later search for the exported file on my hard drive in whatever project was opened first (in this case Project A).

Staff Sean P Posted January 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2020 Ahhh ok - are you opening via double clicking the file, as opposed to using File > Open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0125 Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 I usually open files from the Windows task bar jumplist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain it - as you're not going through the File > Open window, it will be using the last folder you were in. There is an improvement in with development regarding this - I'll get that bumped with them. 0125 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
