Description Andy 2023-05-29 18:58:19 UTC
SUMMARY
The backup (.backup) files are kept in the directory where the real documents are saved. This is obnoxious, and I'd like a way to specify where the backup files are kept.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a new file
2. Save it.

OBSERVED RESULT
filename.backup appears in your Documents directory or whever.

EXPECTED RESULT
I want the .backup files to go where I tell them to.
