Research direction
Start by reproducing the two-file save workflow described in the issue using Xreader 1.8.5 on Mint 19 Mate, then trace how each file's save directory is selected. Done means files opened from different directories are saved to their respective directories by default without one copy overwriting the other.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
* Xreader version 1.8.5
* Distribution - Mint 19 Mate
When a file is saved, Xreader remembers the last directory that was last used - which is a good thing. However, when two files from different directories are opened, Xreader prompts the user to save both files in the last directory that was used. This can result in confusion or even overwriting of files with the same name.
For instance, download an IRS 1040 to two different directories. Open both from their respective directories, and make different changes to each one. Save each file, noting, but not changing, the default directory. Close the files and reopen - one copy has overwritten the other.
