Question

Save For Web (legacy) default folder on launch

When I reboot my machine and then launch cc, the folder where cc pulls up to save by default is not what I expect. 

Steps I take:

1. pull photos from my camera (drag from camera storage into application and drop)

2. edit a photo

3. save using save for web (legacy)

The default directory that cc pulls up is the camera's internal storage (USB Drive F:\DCIM\100MSDCF). What I want to happen is for cc to pull up the last place I saved a photo from cc the last time I had the application open (Storage D:\edited).

 

The directory pulls as F only on the initial launch. After I've saved the first photo there in that session, all the rest of the images 'save for web' dialog defaults to that directory in D:.

I'm coming from an old version (CS3) and in it, this was not an issue. Is there some feature I'm overlooking, is this by design, can some macro/action be written to not have to deal with this which would still  prompt me for file name?  Some other solution for this?

Why would there be a default?  What would the default be. How did you set the default.

 

What will be in a Photoshop Dialog will most likely be the settings you used the last time you used  that Photoshop feature.

"be the settings you used the last time"

 

This is the very issue I describe - they are not the settings I used last time.
