Issues with Default Export Location - Has This Been Fixed???

[JennStreet]

I did some searching around my topic... it came up a few different times but I did not see the issue actually resolved, so I'm posting it new here.

In Premier Pro 2023 v.23 (I'm on an iMac - iOS v. Ventura 13.6.7) - normally in the other Adobe apps like Photoshop & Illustrator, when you go to save or export, it chooses the most recently used directly as the output location. Not so with Priemier. 

As you can see from the following screensots, when I'm working in a project where I have already exported a version, it does indeed go to the most recent file location. But when I'm starting a new project, the default location is users/username/Documents.... EVEN though when I create a new project, I set the porject location. It's annoying. 

Is there a preference to turn this on or something? It's bene several years now since this issue was reported... I'd think it would be addressed by now. Thanks

Hi @JennStreet,

Thanks for the bug report. Has this feature ever worked as you expected it to, or has it always been this way?

Have you tried 24.6 or the 25.0 Beta? You can install these side by side and check. I hope it works for you.

If not, it may be an "as-designed" behavior. If so, we can move your issue to the Ideas forum.

Thanks,
Kevin
