Export for Screens in AI should be just like PS's Version
PLEASE make the export for screens function precisely like the one used in Photoshop.
In particular:
(1) it needs to be possible to export at <0.5x, which is currently the upper limit. If I am producing assets for iOS @3x for whatever reason -- say, they include an unscalable PNG from PS for instance -- to produce the 1x asset I need to export @0.33x, which you don't allow, but PS does. (less important but also mind-boggling is why you don't allow upscaling beyond 33.3x.)
(2) The default export option should be to export to the SAME FOLDER IN WHICH THE FILE IS SAVED. This ridiculous omission costs me valuable time every time I have to export files in different locations. PS also has this correct.
(3) Your defaults should be the default and they should change based on the file I have open, not based on the export options I had selected for the last file I had open, e.g. if I choose to export File A as 1.0x, 0.67x, and the aforementioned impossible 0.33x, the next time I export those options should NOT now be the default for an entirely different file, where most likely 1x, 2x, 3x are appropriate.

This is one of a number of similar requests here for improvements to export settings. I hope that this being a relatively new feature means it will get some attention from the engineers. Your second point would be partly addressed by having the export settings be saved with the file rather than being global.

I thought I was the only one. Thank you! Adobe, please get on this!
