Sorry for top post... very well explained and matched my own interpretation of the friendliest approach.

Hi all, I'd like some usabilty input for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/791098
It requests an option to have the Save a Copy dialog always open in the current document's directory. The Save As... dialog already has this option (preferences > save).
Should I add an option below the Save As... dialog option in the preference dialog, or should I use the same setting for both dialogs? The reason I ask, is that I am a little afraid of adding yet another option...
As krzysztof said it's probably safe to reuse the same setting, but... I can imagine that someone has a workflow where he uses "Save a copy" as export and wants to put his exported files directly into a different directory. Or a similar workflow where save a copy is used to do a kind of versioning (possibly not a good idea, but it's not unlikely that people do use it like this).
So how about technically making it a different option but letting it default to whatever "Save as" does and not exposing it in the dialog for now. I think as long as we don't explicitly set the option it should not be written out to the preferences and so should simply follow the "Save as" option. And this way it would be extraordinarily easy to later change it to expose the other option, and even before that people could use a work-around immediately if they run into trouble.
