Save a Copy in same folder of AI file (like before)
Save a Copy in same folder of AI file (like before)
Since the update to 22.0, the behaviour of “Save a copy” has changed so as to present the last-browsed folder destination in Windows Explorer. Previously this defaulted to the location of the working file.
This is interrupting workflow considerably. I’m sure I am not alone in saving PDF copies of artwork in profess, for discussion with colleagues and clients. This used to be a couple of keystrokes but now I have to remember to browse back to the working file location each time.
In summary:
Expected Result: Explorer window should really default to the location of the working file.
Actual Result: Shown location in Explorer window is that of the last-browsed folder destination.

Greetings! I made the update to Illustrator and this works if I am exporting to a jpg and it is saved to the existing folder. But I have to use "Save a copy" to create pdfs to send to clients and they are ending up everywhere in another folder that may have been open. This is the big BUG thats driving me crazy. It has worked forever since tis latest 2018 update.
Merry Christmas. -
Since we completed the fix for Export location we posted a build. Save a copy has been moved to a different thread just to clear that this is incomplete. Please do not worry about low votes or see this as a deceit. We assure we are on it and hopefully you will have a good news from us soon.

Please fix this immediately - it's been months now. And a lot of your users are ****** and are not performing at their peak because their workflow has been vastly disturbed. Read the comments, count the votes. What do we need to do to make this any clearer??

Will someone take this a little more seriously? I wonder whether a new thread will be created once this reaches 80+ votes, like the thread below.
Ashutosh, I hope you will understand this charade simply damages the Adobe brand.

I received a notification with an update to this bug, only to find out that it has been re-labeled, why couldn't you arrange for this to be fixed instead? I suspect from what I have read so far that there will be a fair amount of backlash from this.

Ashutosh, not cool what you did, it's pretty obvious to everyone that you created a new thread to manipulate the system. This section no longer has any validity, thank you for ruining a decent system where users can voice their concerns.

You truly are behaving in such a deceitful manner, I will post this in every design circle to show how slyly you created a new thread simply to reset the 'vote' count and to buy yourself more time.
Your behaviour truly beggers belief!

Or, at least. make ability to change the default export path (same as working file or last saved location) in the preferences.
