Question

Why does the file save as in the last location instead of where it was opened from?

When I "Save As", why does the file explorer open in the last folder I saved a file to instead of where the folder was opened from? Is this a Windows issue or an Adobe issue? It seems like a very simple thing that causes additional wasted time.

Hello @superbloom421,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you try this out behavior with native Windows apps like Notepad/Paint to see if they behave similarly, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
