[Issue 126038] New: Wrong directory offered on Save as and Export as pdf

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126038

          Issue ID: 126038
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Wrong directory offered on Save as and Export as pdf
           Product: General
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: mistertimisterti@gmail.com

On previous versions (3.1 which was my last install), when selecting save as or
export as pdf on existing files, the offered directory was the one where the
file actually resides, but now, user is offered the directory where last time
the file (no matter which session) was saved with save as or export to pdf.

Save as and export to pdf for existing files should offer the folder where
exisitng file resides by default, like before (But only the first time these
two operations are invoked on opening an existing file). This is very annoying
because files are saved to wrong folders many times if special attention is not
taken. Please check on 3.x to see exactly what the difference is.


This is not the same as 
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121255

So to reproduce,
1. Open Calc and open an exisitng ods file1
2. Select Save as, offered folder will be the one you selected for last file0
or last session. Should be the folder where file1 resides.(If there was no last
save as, then i don't know what folder will be offered)
3. Open file2
4. Save as or Export to PDF for file2 (Folder for file1 will be offered)

Yes, the behavior changed from XP to Win 8.1. Well actually i was using oo 3.1
on my XP until i recently moved to 8.1 and installed 4.1.0 and after that 4.1.1
to check, if this has been fixed. So i don't know why exactly this changed, was
it because of the aoo version change or OS change.

I tried with aoo file dialogs and it now works properly. But i have to say,
that i don't like to use aoo dialogs, because they provide limited
functionality, compared to system dialogs. (System context menus are missing,
shortcuts on the left also..)

@ mistertTi : Please provides the following information:

a) your operating system and its version (Linux, MacOSX, Windows? If Windows,
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8? etc.

b) are you using the system dialogues, or the one provided by OpenOffice? You
can check this by going to the menu Tools - Options. On the Options dialogue,
choose OpenOffice - General on the left, and see if "Open/Save dialogs - Use
OpenOffice dialogs" is checked

c) in case you are using Windows, did the behavior change after updating from
Windows XP to Windows Vista/7/8? See bug 125235 Comment 12

Microsoft changed, since Vista, the way applications use the system dialogue
(its "API"), so there are two different implementations in OpenOffice, the one
you use in Windows XP is not the same you use in Windows >= Vista.

Unfortunately, the implementation for Windows Vista has some bugs, and
OpenOffice's own dialogues are rudimentary.

This is a duplicated of bug 125235
