SUMMARY Kdenlive used to remember the file output directory on the next launch after you've last rendered in that directory which is very convenient for saving a few clicks keeping things organized. Now, after an update about one or two months ago, it no longer remembers my chosen output directory and always reverts back to the original, default output directory upon every launch as if Kdenlive was launched with a fresh config file. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the render dialog as if you're going to render a project. 2. Set your favorite file output directory in the output directory bar. 3. Render a project. 4. Close Kdenlive. 5. Launch Kdenlive and check output directory in the render dialog. OBSERVED RESULT User's chosen output directory has reverted back to the default directory. EXPECTED RESULT User's chosen output directory should be remembered for subsequent launches.

Thanks for your report! I looked at the code and tried with an older version (21.12.0), but can not see that Kdenlive rembered the previously set path of the render output. It rather used either the custom project folder location (in case it was set, like you showed in your screen recording) or alternatively the location set in "Settings" > "Environment" > "Folder for titles, scripts". However the system got some improvements recently. You can now configure better which folder is used in "Settings" > "Environment". These improvments will be in version 22.12 and you can already try them with the nightly version. I hope this helps. Feel free to reopen this report in case anything is still missing or the problem shows up again.
