ASUNDER Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 Could you please add a settings section where we choose default locations for our save / load dialogs etc. Everything always goes to the last used location. So when I go to open a project it jumps to my renders folder. When I want to render something it jumps to my projects folder. Brutal. If we could choose defaults in advance then the program would jump to our default for that specific task. I would choose my projects folder for the 'Open' dialog. So it would disregard what I was doing previously. Every time I choose File/Open it would open the dialog at my projects folder every time. The things I can think of that would be involved in this defaults system is Save (all types), Open, Export, Import Content, the Place tool. You could add a history section to the dialogs. The person could click on the most recent folder if they want, instead of the default. Quote Windows 10 Home 22H2 64 bit Affinity Designer 2.5.3 , Photo 2 , Publisher 2 Good computer

I should be able to save to my projects folder when I want to save it and export to my renders folder when I want to render. This is pretty basic computing.

walt.farrell Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 In the meantime, both Windows and macOS have functions to "pin" a folder into the File Explorer or Finder sidebar, and if you do that with your commonly-used folders it will help you get to them quickly from any of those Affinity dialogs.
