Hi,
Prior to recent changes if one exported a PNG without specifying a path
it would be saved in the same directory as the SVG. Now it gets saved in
the home directory (in Linux). I don't think that this is desired. I
would almost never want the PNG to end up in my home directory. This is
causing a significant interruption in my work flow as I have hundreds of
SVG's that have the PNG export name set without a path
(inkscape:export-filename). Can we have the original behavior back
(without breaking, of course, the new support of relative paths)?
Thanks,
Tav

I did it mostly for command line export. However I'm still undecided
about whether we should use it for Export dialog. Is your complaint
about the dialog? I can re-add relativization from document directory
to its filename field too.
Note that this is in any case new behavior in 0.47, the 0.46 always
interpreted rel paths from current dir, not document dir.

Just to says that in my mind "path1224.png" and "./path1224.png"
should do
the same thing (in GUI): export in the document svg directory.
We should use the home directory only when the document has never been
saved.
ps: I just noticed something, if you select an object and launch export
dialog, the editbox shows the full path, click anywhere to unselect,
reselect yout path and the editbox shows the relative path.

I agree - the export should default to the current dir, or the home dir
if the file hasn't been saved.

Yes, my complaint is about the dialog. Export by default should save to
the same directory the SVG file is in. To rephrase Yann:
drawing.png and ./drawing.png should both end up in the same directory
as drawing.svg unless specified explicitly otherwise.

OK, I added absolutizing user-entered paths from doc location in rev
22137. Now the only relative paths that are interpreted from current
dir are those that are typed on the command line for exporting.
