Export to HTML in same folder as current tab

[peterA]

Hello first - I am a new user and must say that I am very happy with MarkDownPad2

However, one feature would definitely improve my workflow: currently, when I Export to HTML, the selected folder for export is always the last folder I exported do. It would be great if there was an option to select that instead the folder of the currently active tab is used - if I am editing c:\foo\bar\myDoc.md, the HTML file would go into c:\foo\bar\myDoc.html, no matter what the last folder was I exported to.

Regards,
Peter

+1. I think this would be the most common workflow, at least for me.

Thanks for the feedback! I've added this to my list to be included for either the next release (or the release after next). I'll probably make this a customizable option in case others prefer the existing functionality.

+1 This is my most common workflow as well. I use Readme.md documents in the folders that accompany data we distribute and almost always export .html to same folder.

This is a rather annoying speed bump when working with multiple files as you have to renavigate on every task change.

Export and Save As dialogues are both effected.

I'd argue the current method doesn't even need to be preserved as the only time you would really prefer last used directory is for unsaved files which can probably be easily checked.

I like what notepad++ does for unsaved files, it will default to the directory of the last saved tab that had focus.

So if your working on /foo/file1.md and jump to an unsaved file if you try to save it will open a save dialogue under /foo/
