Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

evince 2.22.2

When you choose to save a copy of a document in evince, the save dialogue always defaults to your home directory, and there seems to be on obvious way of changing this. This is out of step with other desktop applications, such as web browsers, which tend to take you to the last directory you used. It is also extremely annoying if want to save a file in the same place that you saved another one five minutes ago, or if you habitually put miscellaneous pdf files in the same place.

Evince should either default to the last used directory, or it should give you the option to change the default directory as a preference.
