Comment 7 for bug 168119

For people working from the command line this behaviour is really a nuisance. I just overwrote 10 files, with a wrong version upon exporting to a different format, just because Inkscape used some old directory and neither my current directory nor the directory the files I opened resided in (which happend to be the same as my current dir). Luckily I have my stuff under version control. From the 100 other programs I use and regularly call from the command line none work like that. (Otherwise great program).
