            Bug ID: 131788
           Summary: Export Directly as PDF save dialog default location is
                    not the same as the source file
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ahiijny at gmail.com

Version: 6.3.5.2 (x64)
Build ID: dd0751754f11728f69b42ee2af66670068624673
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-CA (en_CA); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

I've run into this UI/UX hiccup a few times now.

I went to export my .doc file as PDF, and when I went to the folder, I couldn't
find it.

It turns out that the default save location of Export to PDF is the *last*
location I exported to PDF, which happens to be an entirely different folder
from where my current file is.

I think this is unintuitive behaviour. In my view, it makes more sense for the
Save to PDF dialog to follow the same behaviour as the save as dialog. When
exporting, I clicked the "save" button quickly while expecting this behaviour,
so I didn't notice that the folder location was different from where I was
expecting.
