Bug Description

Dear community,

I might have missed the option but I would like to change the default folder to which PNGs are exported. Currently, all files are exported to /home/<user>. I would like to change this to /home/<user>/Downloads.

What is your opinion on allowing the user to change the default export directory?

Thankfully,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your report!

Only when the file is not saved before the export dialog is called. If you save the document first, then the export default path is the path of the document.

That said, I guess it should be possible to create a new preference (user defined/automatic export path).

Yes, please. That is exactly what I had imagined.

Warmly,

Robert
