Request: "Save as" or "Export to" into source folder location if file opened with "open with" in Windows.

Situation:

I often open files via the "open with" function in Windows (e.g. in Explorer or a thumbnail viewer I navigate to a folder, right click a file, select open with Affinity App of choice).

If I then like to save the file or export it, the Affinity Apps defaults to the "last used folder" but not the one from where the "open with" file came from.

I would like the Apps to use the location where the opened file is located.

I absolutely agree. In fact, I want that feature across all of Windows by default, although I recognise that might be a little beyond the powers of the Affinity team!

[cgidesign]

I agree as well regarding "all of Windows", but even if it would be in just the A apps, it would save me a lot of time.

My export feature keeps defaulting to the Sytem32 folder, which is annoying but easy to work around. Export defaulting to a system folder is a little crazy

.

Completely agree that 'export to original folder' should be an option.

I completely agree!
I have the same problem.
It would be enough if they grouped the saving options (different formats) in the "save as" command, as almost all other software do.
Using a double "save" and "export" command only creates complications.

Yep, I never understand the need for separating 'save' and 'export'. Not all software does it, so it's clearly not actually necessary.
