Bug ID: 168104
Summary: “Save As” and “Export to PDF” default folder no longer
matches the opened file’s location
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.4 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In previous versions of LibreOffice, when I used the “Save As” or “Export to
PDF” function, the default folder shown was the same as the folder where the
currently opened file was located.
Now, LibreOffice always defaults to the last folder I used to save or export a
file, regardless of the current file’s location.
This change breaks expected behavior and reduces productivity, especially when
working with files from different directories.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file from folder A
2. Use “Export to PDF” → notice that the folder suggested is not A, but the
last used folder (say, folder B)
3. Repeat with “Save As” and the behavior is the same
Actual Results:
When using “Save As” or “Export to PDF”, the default folder shown is the last
folder used for any save/export operation, instead of the folder where the
currently opened file is located.
Expected Results:
The “Save As” or “Export to PDF” dialog should open in the same folder where
the currently opened file is located.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
