Bug ID: 166017
Summary: Exporting an image places it in the wrong folder
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
With a recent upgrade, exporting a graphic from Draw, for example to JPG, SVG,
PNG, etc., places it in the wrong folder. It seems to save to the folder that
was last used for export, rather than the current folder you are working in.
Steps to replicate:
1. Open example.odg in folder ~/example
2. Choose File|Export from the menu and export to ~/example/example.png
3. Open file example2.odg in folder ~/example2
4. Choose File|Export from the menu and don't select the folder, just export,
and instead of going to ~/example2/example2.png it goes to
~/example/example2.png
Previously, the behaviour was correct.
Consequense: This adds unnecessary steps to the workflow as the last used path
may be far from the current path. There are no use cases that I can think of
where this makes sense, as you are unlikely to want to save an image from one
folder in the somewhat random last folder. It also leaves random images
scattered on the hard drive as one doesn't always know what the last folder you
used was.
