InDesign 2021 saving files in a different folder from where I originally opened the file

New Here ,
Oct 21, 2020 Oct 21, 2020

with the 2021 update, instead of overwrite the file, it saves inside the folder from the job I was working before, how can I change this? I don't want to have to everytime I go save the file find the correct folder to save...

 

You know what I mean?

Hi, I'm having the same problem with InDesign 19.4, iMac 2021 M1 chip, Ventura 13.6.4. It's been like this since the update. Is there a fix please?

It is not fixed - it still keeps on saving the file to the last place I saved something to.
It should save the file to the place from where I opened it.

This is NOT fixed!!  I have been dealing with this every 3-6 months and it is getting RIDICULOUS!!  The ONLY "work-around" I have been able to do is to clear the Indesign Cache.  This causes me to lose ALL my presets, workspace, Export options, etc.  THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

This is not hard.

Scenario: I'm working in client A folder Indesign (19.4) project. Save & Close my project.

Now, I go to Client B Folder, open Indesign 19.4, edit & save my project, go to export it, and the "default" location is in Client A folder, NOT Client B folder that I am currently working on.
