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...

I appreciate that I am not the only one complaining about this. It is literally the ONLY software we own that operates like this (we own the full autodesk suites including Revit, as well as SketchUp and many Leica products). In my opinion, Graphisoft has a very backwards way of looking at so many parts of the software functionality, and this one tops them all! How on earth do the tech folks there not get that they are doing this backwards and their users are begging them for a simple change. I am sick of paying such high costs for mediocre software. We spend too much time searching for "lost files" from changes we made weeks ago. I have complained to the salespeople and they don't get it.

It's been enough to make us consider Revit, as that is what most young staff know anyway.

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 ... 😞
