    Hi everyone,

    In the latest BETA 30.0.21, we’ve improved the ‘Save As’ workflow.

    Now, instead of remembering the last used format, the default will always be .AI.

    We made this change to ensure that your files are consistently saved in the native Illustrator format, which is the most reliable option for preserving full editability.

    Please try out he changes by downloading the latest BETA from the Creative Cloud and let us know if it helps you or not.

    Yea that makes sense. I dont think save and export necessarily need to behave the same but yea , it would be nice to have control over these things, even in the preferences/file handling. I kinda understand the persistent file type but i rarely save off multiple pdfs, I want illustrator to save as illustrator files. Maybe its time to overhaul the whole thing and put pdf in export dialog, like indesign. No matter what tho, i think a persistent save LOCATION is completely useless, i would much prefer it to automatically chose the root folder of the file i am working on...
