P: Save for Web should respect "Save As" to original folder preference

Say I'm working on two projects, I have 2 psd's open. If I do save as for web/save as.. it selects the last folder used. Which is actually useful - but sometimes it's a curse. We need an option to turn this "feature" off. To have the option of saving for web/as in the same folder as the current psd.

Let me explain why.
Project_1: Is in C:/project_1/designs
Project_2: Is in C:/project_2/designs

Say i have a psd open from both projects or i switch regularly between the two. If i want to save out a jpg from project1 and then save out a jpg from project2 - when saving a jpg for project2 it will select project1's folder because that was the last used folder. This is a HUGE pain. I have to literary jump through dozens of folders everytime i switch project.(The above was a simple file structure - but the large projects i work on have a more complicated folder tree).

It would be a HUGE HUGE HUGE help if there was an option that would turn OFF "remember the last saved folder" and instead save in the same folder as the psd...because at least even if i keep my jpgs seperate from my psd, it's faster for people to navigate from a relevant project folder than a folder in a completely different project.

    i imagine they thought that Export As would somehow be the fix for this, but then Export was never finished and here we are...

    Yeah I'd like this feature too! It could be really useful for me and should speed up a lot my work! Also, the size optimization value could be saved on each PSD. I hope someone will look at it.

    Would it be possible to remember the previous "Save for Web" file location of the current file.
    Right now, the location of the previous file is remembered by default. Maybe store the location in the PSD file whenever a "Save for Web" is done. InDesign behaves like this for PDF exports.

    This would be a huge time saver for me since I export several files to several locations regularly.

      It's so brutally inefficient, I can't believe no one has done anything about it as of yet. It also sounds like a fairly easy one to fix.

      Ho my god, I happy to see I'm not the only one losing hairs on this. It's making me CRAZY! 90% of the time my "save for web" images are saved in the same folder as the original file. It's a real nuisance to open the right folder again and again to save the file... are we really the only one with this problem??

      I double beg you Adobe!! All the precious time PS saves me is lost with those kind of things...

      Thank you :)

      P.S. Everyone don't forget to VOTE for this request in order to make it a priority!! (+1 at the top)

        As it stands right now, when you attempt to "Save for Web", the folder it saves to is the last folder you selected when using "Save for Web" the previous time.

        I would like the option to "Save for Web" into the original folder of the PSD, by default. That's the way "Save As" works when you have "Save As to Original Folder" checked under the file handling menu.

        Please, please, please, make this simple fix happen. I can't count how much time I've wasted navigating through my folders in order to save a file to the same folder that the PSD resides.

        I beg you Adobe, give us this option!

        Thanks for your time.

          Yes. We need this save in the same folder as the psd feature!
