photogeek Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm really enjoying using this program, but I feel like I must be missing some setting some where that will fix this slight issue. I start working on a new project, I save the new project to a location then go to export finished project and it goes to different folder. Example: Test Project 01, saving it in Work/2017/October. Then later when I go to export the file, I just keep assuming it will go to where I saved the file, but the export file always goes to the last place I exported to. So the example might be, Test Project 01.jpg exporting to Work/2017/September. I know that I can just move the file, but is there a way to get Affinity to save and export to whatever was used last for one or the other. Like I don't care which one I changed last, I just want them to both go to that same spot. Because chances are if I'm saving something I'm going to be exporting part of that project to the same spot.

VernB Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Would love to hear some suggestions regarding directory structures for Mac users. How best to coordinate having the original RAW image, .afp, and a post-manipulated exported jpg. Three different directories? The RAW and the post-edit jpg can be imported into the Mac's Photo application's database, but apparently not the .afp file. Any advice appreciated as to what works for others. Thanks.

Sven Kalkschmidt Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It would be great if someone from support/dev could chime in here. I am dealing with the same problem as @photogeek thanks, Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi everyone. This is something that has been requested before and maybe included in a future update, but at the moment the file won't save to original folder. the destination folder will need to be selected manually. I'll move this post to the Feature Requests section. Sven Kalkschmidt, F_Kal and photogeek 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I prefer the present behaviour apart from one glitch. Export will export to the last directory I exported to. Open will open from the last directory I opened from unless I have just exported, in which case it first looks in the directory I last exported to rather than the one I last opened from. I'm not sure if it regularly does this, but it certainly did it this morning!
