How do I get the export directory to stay where I want it?

[Alan Sh - from the UK]

I have two PCs running Lightroom Classic. On each of them I have set the export option to choose the folder to save the export later.

On one of them, I set it up once and the next time I do an export, it has remembered which folder I chose last time.

On the other one, each time I export, I have to tell LRc which folder I want it saved in.

So, something is different somewhere, but I cannot find what or where. I've looked at all the preferences and as far as I can see, they are both the same. Anyone have any ideas?

Both PCs are running the latest Windows 11. They also now both use the same catalog file (on the network) although the issue was there when they had separate catalogs.

Cheers

Why aren't you using an Export preset that has the destination saved?

I've never needed to do that before plus the export destination changes for each photo shoot. I normally change it once when I start my post processing and that's it for the that shoot.

As I said, it works fine on one PC, but not the other. And I don't know why the difference.

Hi @Alan Sh - from the UK, thanks for reaching out!
Could you let us know what version of Lightroom Classic you’re using? One thing that might help is resetting the Lightroom Classic preferences on the machine where you’re seeing the issue. This will restore the app to its default state.

Aleke,

That has worked perfectly. Thank you. 

PS - I'm running the latest versions - updated today.
