Most recent folder after saving, to place into InDesign

I am sorry if this has been answered somewhere, it's a difficult question to get the wordking correct. 

 

When editing a file in Photoshop or Illustator is it possible when 'placing' into InDesign to automatically have either MacOS or Adobe or Default Folder software, know and open that folder you've last saved into. I use Default Folder and bought it specifically for the purpose of easily finding / going back to the last folder I've saved to.  Which works with clicking on 'recent folders' in Default folder. However I noticed now for many years that MacOs isn't alway consistant with opening a certain folder when clicking to 'place' an image into InDesign.  I hope I've made this clear.  I have fooled around with Mac Os on which folder opens but never really got into testing it.   At times I notice it opens a folder i saved into a while ago.. two or three files before that most current.   Thanks for any answers to this question as it would save a ton of time and 'focus lost' by frustrating around with folders.  If there is an answer I'm sure it's simple. Even if it's in Default Folder settings. I'm sure I had this working before.

The easist way I do to tackle this problem is to add my folders to the Finder sidebar as favourite folders.
Windows OS has the same sidebar and recent folders.

How did this get marked as the correct answer? Of course I have folders in my sidebar.  My question was how can Mac OS automatically know or remember the last finder I saved to in photoshop or any other software.  I have 1000's of folders and will never put 1000's of folders in my sidebar. So my next question is how do I mark this as the wrong answer.

It's not correct and I unmarked it as such. The fact is that there is no out-of-the-box way for one CC app to know which folder you last saved to from another. Might make a good feature request.

 

Without more background on your workflow, there's no way to even make a suggestion beyond getting organized before you start by creating folders for assets that will be used in the project.
