"Save As ..." Where the file came from, please!

"Save As ..." Where the file came from, please!

Here's the issue:
I'm working on file A from Folder A. While doing so I open file B from Folder B in another tab. I am now working on two files in unison - sometimes important for continuity of colour etc.
But when I come to save Illustration A with 'Save As ...' the system automatically opens the last fold I took a file from - in this example It automatically offers Fold B for File A.
I know the answer is use the folder drop-down, but sometimes I don't notice, particularly if folded A&B have similar names. Then later, when I want to retrieve File A, I often wonder where it's got to or cringe at the thought that I failed to save it!
Can't a file have a background (unseen) tag indicating where it came from so that the system knows where best to suggest saving it?
BTW: I know Cmd/S already does this, but does that not work if I want to keep the original File A and Save As File A2.
Hope that makes sense.
John.

No "invisible" tag is needed - the application knows the full path of the file it opened (otherwise it would not be able to save it with Save).

Pšenda: I thought so too, hence the question: Why is a file's original path 'overwritten' by the path of the latest file opened and suggests that in 'Save As...'? Seems the system's 'memory' is only capable of storing the latest file path in that circumstance. So yes, 'Save' and Ctr-S suggest the folder the file came from, but 'Save As...' does not, once you have opened a second file with a difference source folder.

I may want to create several versions of the same image in the same folder, but if I have opened another file from another folder since opening (in this case)' File A' the system goes to the latest folder accessed. So, when I want to save the new version as (say) File A2, the system goes to the latest folder accessed, NOT the folder the original 'File A' was sourced from.
