Spectacle is one such example.(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #2)

The requested behavior is a bit more subtle than the above. Here's the
workflow/steps to reproduce:
- Open a file. Call it file #1.
- Save file #1 to some location using File > Save As... 
- With the program still open, open a new file (or create a new one, whatever).
Call it file #2.
- Save file #2 file using File > Save As...

The for the save operation on File #2, the save dialog should show the location
that file #1 was saved to, not the current location of the file #2. Essentially
it should show the Save As location that was previously used 

Kate, Spectacle, and Kolourpaint all behave this way. Ark does not
though--which should also be fixed. :) Virtually all software that can save
files will inevitably get requests for this behavior, which is probably why
those other KDE apps already implement it.

It doesn't look too hard, so I can try to produce a patch.
