Replace footage needs update - should open where the file lives

The media relinking in AE is so bad.  I'm amazed it's still like this

But it doesn't. Sometimes yes it does. But if I bring in a new item, then then want to replace another item it will open from that latest folder accessed.

Hey Todd, thanks for sharing the feedback! We'll do what we can to get this updated. It looks like right now, it opens the File Explorer or Finder to the last place I imported from. Makes sense that it would open to the last known location of the file selected.

Thanks again for this feature request! I moved your post from the Discussions tab of this forum to the Ideas tab. This way, the right people will see it.

Let us know if there's anything else we can do.
