Save As folder location is not right in version 25.6.2
Hi - I upgraded to 26.5.2 sometime last week and during the last few days, returning to projects that had been tweaked with it since, the project files were just not in their expected location. For years I've had this workflow :
- Launch Premiere
- Select the project from the recent projects panel or navigate to it if it's not within the recent projects list (which is always a "0_PremierePro_Scratch" sub-folder under the overall project's name on my drives)
- Once in the project, "Save As" and tweak the suffix of the project's name to today's date
- Edit away. "Save".
- Rince and repeat.
The default location where the software always opens the "Save As" dialog box has always been the folder from which the project was open in step 2. above.
Always. Except since version 26.5.2
After fearing the loss of 3 or 4 of my projects edited since the update, I just found them scattered in various folders. I'm not sure what the trigger is, but it feels like it could be tied to the folder I last imported from or exported to in the previous session?
FWIW, I know of at least one other person with this same issue.
FWIW 2, my Scratch Disks > Project Auto Save settings are always set to ...\ProjectName\0_PrPro_Scratch
Side note:
(It kinda feels like that looooooooong standing bug when replacing a file... Say you have 2 or 3 files you need to relink (like replacing audio-watermarked files with their licensed counterpart, or replacing lowres files with their fullres counterpart)... These 2-3 files are in the same folder. After drilling down the path to the first file, you'd think this path would be retained for the 2nd and 3rd files, but no... you're back to that original, unrelated path you accessed originally with the first file. And a week or two later, when you relink to something else again in which ever project, your new "default" path will be the one you last relinked from... ) --- end of side note.

Anyone else? Thanks,
