Bug Description

This is probably a "duplicate" of a bug, which was fixed in evince 2.27, but now in evince 3.30 it seems to reappear again. Additionally, I am not sure if this is an evince bug or a gtk3 bug.
The main problem is that the folder where a document was saved last is never stored. So for me a common workflow is downloading a pdf of a scientific publication and I need to store it somewhere in my filesystem. In many other instances (sumatrapdf on windows) the folder where I saved the last pdf is always stored. This means after I saved the first document for all subsequent documents I don't need to navigate the file system again.
At the moment evince always starts in the home folder and I need to navigate through my filesystem again.
This is on fedora 29 with evince 3.30.2 and gtk3 3.24.1.

Thank you for your bug report. It seems similar to upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/909 but the behaviour should be that it stores in the same directory as the current document by default, or if it's a temp location then fallback to the document directory and it's not there to the user dir
If you wish to discuss the behaviour it's better done on gitlab upstream than on launchpad
