file path for "save as"

[Dave Brach]

I request that when I go to "File>Save As" that the default location is NOT the last location a file was saved, but rather the last location that the CURRENT file was saved. We are a small firm with small projects and do not use solo projects, not teamwork. I cannot tell you how many times over the past 10 years we have saved files in the "wrong" folder (folder for a different project). It has happened literally hundreds of times. I just spent 2 hours transferring changes from a file I worked on last week, but saved in the wrong place, to a file that one of my employees was updating today...

Yeah, there are many things that could be better in Archicad, but this is one of those trully completely unaccetable behaviours as it is just plain wrong. There might have been a technical justification for this long time ago, but not now. It should be addressed inmediately

Is there any glimmer of hope on getting this wish granted? I certainly hope so.

Thanks in advance!

It doesnt appear on the roadmap, so ... 😞

I just hired a new employee.  He is doing amazingly well learning archicad and working on a bout 4 projects.  So now, of course I am finding .pln files all over the place in our cloud file storage system because it is impossible for even the most conscientious of us to remember this bizarre practice for "save as".  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this.

Our 'fix' for this problem has been to include the project number in front of every folder name on our server (making every folder name unique). Just in case someone finds that a helpful tip. Works well with filenames too!

It should behave as the wish though, no doubt about that.

Good tip. I have been doing the same with Folder and Filenames for years. A quick file search of the job number can reveal all sorts of unexpected results for files which aren't obviously misplaced including those in the AC Launch Screen open file list.
