"Save As to Original Folder" not working in Photoshop

Forum|Forum|8 years ago

When choosing File > Save As, Photoshop takes you to the folder where your last file was saved, which may not be the same folder as where your current file resides.

Edit > Preferences > File Handling and checking “Save As to Original Folder” is supposed to cause Photoshop to instead take you to the same folder where your current file resides, but it doesn't work on my machine.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

At this point we should have a screen that can do diffrent "save a copy", "save", "save as" chosen by the user I cant see it conflicting with shortcuts. Also we should have a When Finished choice, nothing, open in, etc.

PS maybe they can first fix the program opening on a new screen with differnt size and resolution issues first!!!!

It should be an instant setting, no restart required.

First restart your PC and see if it then works.

Thanks, gener7. We have tried that. We are also running the latest updated version from Adobe Cloud. We have checked and unchecked the box in Preferences, restarted, and reinstalled several times, but Photoshop always defaults to the last folder used (instead of the folder where the current file was opened from). So frustrating!

Any other ideas?? Thanks!

It could be something that needs a Preferences Reset. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not remove that file which keeps track of your settings on exit.

To reset:
