PSE 2026 Wants to Save Files to the Wrong Directory

I have noticed yet another file saving bug in PSE 2026: PSE wants to save files in the last directory in which PSE saved, not to the directory of the file you're editing.

For example

1. Edit and save file foo.jpg in directory 20251207
2. Edit file bar.jpg in directory 20251220
3. When you try to save bar.jpg, PSE defaults to directory 20251207. to save it in the correct place, you have to navigate to 20251220 in the File > Save dialog box

I am using PSE2026 (20251112.EO.64802456) on Windows 11

Here's my list of file saving problems introduced in PSE 2026 that haven't been fixed yet:

1. Editing files changes the date on the edited file by the offset to UTC
• Workaround: load the file in the PSE Editor again (no need to make changes) and the date will be fixed in PSE Organizer
   
2. When saving a file to a Version Set, the file name is incorrect (foo.jpg instead of foo_edited-1.jpg)
• Solution uncheck and then recheck ' Save in Version Set with Original' in Save As dialog box - the correct name will now appear
   
3. PSE wants to save files in the last directory it saved in, not the directory in which the current file lives
• Workaround: manually navigate to the correct directory when saving files
