Load Files into Stack dialog remembers wrong last directory

Bug Report – Load Files into Stack dialog remembers the wrong last directory

Photoshop version: 27.8.0 (also reproduced on current stable release) OS: masOS Tahoe 26.5.1

Description: The "Load Files into Stack" dialog (File → Scripts → Load Files into Stack) is now remembering the last directory used for export/save operations instead of the last directory used for import/open operations.

Previously, Photoshop kept these two contexts separate: the import dialog would remember the last folder from which files were imported, and the export dialog would remember the last folder to which files were exported. This allowed for an efficient workflow when working with separate source and output folders.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Export or Save As an image to Folder A.
  2. Go to File → Scripts → Load Files into Stack → Browse.
  3. Observe that the dialog opens Folder A (last export location) instead of the last folder used for importing.

Expected behavior: The import dialog should open the last folder from which files were imported, independent of where files were last exported.

Actual behavior: The import dialog opens the last folder used for export/save, ignoring the previous import location.

Impact: Disrupts workflows that rely on separate source and output directories, requiring manual navigation on every import.
