--- Comment #5 from Frank Steiner <fsteiner-board at bio.ifi.lmu.de> ---
Just moved from old acroread to okular and stumbled over this.

I've exactly the same workflow. Opening a bunch of PDF files downloaded in
Firefox, then saving all of them inside a certain directory structure. Although
they don't go to exactly to the same directory, they are all close together and
3-4 levels below $HOME.

So it's quite anooying that for every PDF I've to click or type myself through
all the directories again until I'm in my target directory. Costs a lot of
time. acroread indeed just started in the directory where the last "save as"
was done, so sth. like "../xy<tab>" already brought me there (using GTK save
dialogues).

It's argueable if for an existing file "save as" should default to the
directory of the existing file or to the last used directory. Likely both have
their justification.

So, if it isn't to difficult to implement, maybe it could be made an option in
the settings? Then everyone can chose what's best for his/her workflow? I would
appreciate such an option very much!
