That's not exactly what I get. The suggested path in my case is the working
directory + a filename appended (based on the document that is open), which is
not necessarily the same location as that of the currently open file.

At a quick glance, it looks to me like the current handling is implemented in
the Qt print dialog, more precisely the 'QUnixPrintWidget::QUnixPrintWidget'
constructor, s.
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/printsupport/dialogs/qprintdialog_unix.cpp#n1412
.

I'm quite sure this is also what the Qt print dialog does, nothing
Okular-specific.


Kate e.g., which also uses the Qt print dialog, behaves the same way in my
case.

Calling QPrinter::setOutputFileName should probably make the above code take up
the path set this way (though I didn't have any closer look), but I'm unsure
whether it makes sense to do this specifically just for Okular (and what else
would have to be taken into account).
