Both export and saving point to under /program files.  There could be a setting for this, for both export and saving. Like if I make a folder My Documents/Krita arts, there goes the exports, under that is a folder/ krita files, there goes the .kra files. Krita could know them, and then the workflow for new projects would be much smoother.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a new project
2. Save it
3. Punks not DeaD



Stay awesome! :)

Actually, Krita is supposed to remember the last used place where you saved or exported to, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346303 -- somehow this got broken again. The default location is intentionally the working path for the application, for people who start Krita from the command line. That is broken with appimages, though, because that resets the working path.

I'ts a bit hard to figure out the best approach, though

* When started from the command line, the default directory should be the working path
* When started from the gui, the default directory should be the Pictures folder
* After a restart, the default directory should be the one last used
* Save As/Export should default to the location of the open file

I'd rather try to figure out the right thing than adding another configuration option, though.

Krita now remembers the last used paths correctly.
