Description Goran Brannstrom 2011-10-24 18:47:26 UTC

Version:           Comes with KDE (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Just make the application conform with any other KDE program that handles files.  Its as simple as that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Edit any jpeg file by clicking in Dolphin, edit and try to save. 

Actual Results:  
Kolourpaint will open save dialog in last saved directory instead of directory where the file came from. This is confusing, often destructive, if you have a file by the same name in many directories, not to say really tiresome. 

Expected Results:  
If you press "Save" save file where it came from (same directory, same name).
If you press "Save as..." show Save-dialog in file's directory of origin.

I'm so tired with this application bu this stage, having time and again destroyed precious pictures by overwriting a file in another directory or not finding where a file I saved ended up. I'm leaving this bug report as a final goodbye in the hope that it will be be fixed for others or marked as "Beta" as a warning.
