            Bug ID: 132736
           Summary: FileOpen / FileSave default directory in native
                    dialogs
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ferry.toth at elsinga.info

Super irritating: when you have a document open in LibO and you want to use
Save As or when you want to generate a pdf the file dialog opens in a directory
you used yesterday.

This happens only with the Windows native dialogs. 

The KDE and MacOS dialogs understand that the most logical place to Save As is
the directory the respective document is located. Same for creating a pdf:
where else than in the same directory as the original.

And guess what, when working on a document what would be the most logical
directory when you click File Open? Right, the same directory again.

I think it would be fair to say that the correct and most useful behavior (as
already acknowledged in the KDE and MacOS versions) should be present in the
Windows native dialogs version as well.

Note: on windows the alternative Libreoffice dialogs do have the correct
behavior, but these dialogs lack usability (long paths unreadable / don't fit
in the dialog) and look weird and unfamiliar.
