SUMMARY
When you pick a folder to export compositions to, this directory is not remembered the next time you want to export again. It instead seems to pick the folder where the current Krita document is saved.

Comparatively, other export paths do remember your last picked directory, like File -> Export/Export Advanced/Render Animation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a composition.
2. Export Images or Animations from the Composition docker.
3. Pick a folder other than the one that is shown by default.
4. Click OK.
5. Export Images or Animations from the Composition docker, again.

OBSERVED RESULT
The directory is not the same as the last one picked.

EXPECTED RESULT
The directory is the same as the last one picked.
