Hi,
I'm very sorry that it took me so long to get back to this, but I was moving between different locations in Asia and Europe during the last few weeks and for most of the time didn't have access to emails and my computer.
Once the user saved a file to a certain location, it is used as default when calling 'Save as...' again. Works for me, but for those who adapted their work flow to the old way? Big change. I think adding an option to always default to the current working directory makes sense.
I agree. Attached is a patch which adds an option to the Preferences to choose between both kinds of behaviour. I renamed the "Autosave" page to "Save" and added the option there because it seemed most logical; please let me know if you disagree. I'm not sure if this patch is acceptable during freeze since in some sense it adds a feature, but I'd regard it more as a bug fix so I'm sending it anyway and leave it to the release wardens to decide. BTW, feel free to change the wording in the tooltip because I have the feeling that it doesn't sound as smooth as it could (that's the disadvantage of not being a native speaker).
