"Save copy as" option

Unfortunately, the directory where I would like to save the file is
often much more than one click away, if it is far from my homedir.
If I have few files to save, the "Save as" option starts each time in
/tmp, which is penible. The old "Save copy as" option remembered the
last directory used, which is more convenient (less clicks).
Previous version of okular had both "Save as" and "Save copy as".
Also, many other software have these two options which have different
use cases.
Best regards
Dominique

"Save copy as" is just "Save as" now.
I don't understand why proposing /tmp (which is where the file lives) is
so inconvenient, your home or whatever you prefer is just a click away
on the save dialog using the left sidebar, no?
