<pre>Running LibreOffice 6.4.0.3 64 bits on Windows 10 64 bits, I noticed that PDF
exporting doesn't save the last path used anymore as it did on LibreOffice
6.3.4.
That's annoying, as my ODFs folders are not the same as my PDFs folders. I
think other users also save PDFs on different folders from the source
documents, as PDFs is mainly used to show the final work to others.
In my workflow, I have source (internal) documents on a folder; when they need
to be printed out or sent to a web portal, I export them as PDFs on another
folder. Saving source documents on an organized folder structure allows for
easy managing documents by subject, allowing for easy “remixing”, i.e., when
parts of one document which has a subject that can be used on another new
document, with the same subject, but meant to be sent for a different person.
It's like copying and pasting software sources from one file to another file,
but adapting the access tokens and other variables for each use case.
I also know of a coworking site's workflow that has a human print manager who
gets the PDF exported file on its local folder (which is shared on the network)
and then prints it on request by users of the coworking site.
Could you please revert to the old behavior of PDF Export saving the last path
used to export? It would really be easier to work this way.</pre>
