Request: Option for texture export to go to project directory

With apologies if this already exists and I simply haven't found it, but...
"File > Export Textures" has a default export location of "Documents/Adobe/Adobe Substance 3D Painter/export" on every project. Intuitively, I would never wish for every texture from every project to dump into this directory, and fairly logically, I would love to export to the project's working directory, into, perhaps, a sub-folder (maybe named "export").
I occasionally migrate a project from one computer to another and would not benefit from the project directory being locked down to the folder structure of the "other" computer, and so it would be useful for the default export directory to be a sort of "live variable" of the current project directory.
Could we please have this? It seems simple enough to fetch the "working directory" rather than the "Documents directory environment variable" which is the current behavior. I'd usually ask "can we have this be an optional setting to default to?" but in this case, I'm unable to see the benefit of--or impact from--keeping the current default behavior of saving everything from every project into one single folder.
Minor feature, benefit is that it's one less thing I need to remember to do on every single project export and it eliminates accidentally dumping a project worth of textures into an unintended location.
