Description

Your idea

I keep PDFs of my scores in a folder separate from the scores. Whenever I export a PDF it opens the scores folder instead of remembering the folder I last exported to.

Problem to be solved

Loosing time over re-selecting my preferred export folder every single time I need to export a score.

It would be nice to either remember the folder from last export or allow users to set a default export folder. I prefer the first solution as it works without additional UI elements cluttering the settings.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Locate the PDF export flow and its folder-selection handling first; done means a PDF export remembers the last folder used instead of reopening the scores folder on the next export.
