All anyone needs to do is find one, just one, email program which uses some other temporary location to save attachments, say /var/tmp for example, and your statement will be wrong. "kpdf Save As defaults to /tmp when opened from an email program" is incorrect because there is, or might be some day, an email program which doesn't use /tmp. Even if it happens to be correct now, it is merely contingently true, it is true only by the accident that email programs save attachments in /tmp when you open them. But Michele's comment that kpdf defaults to opening Save As in the location where the document is currently saved remains true no matter what program you use. -- Steve

If I click on the pdf file on their site, it opens with kpdf, I then save it with the 'save as dialog' which always defaults to /tmp..which is where the file is downloaded to before opening apparently. No matter if it is the 3rd, 10th..100th pdf downloaded and opened. As a comparison, evince will offer to 'save as' to the last directory used, very usefull when dealing with lots of pdf files..which in my line of work, is how documents are provided.... and why I asked if kpdf could be configured to save as to something other than /tmp. Adding another location to the save as dialog reduces the amount of effort...not uite what i would like to see the best option of my pdf reader client..but helpful. -- Peace, Greg

There are times where I want Save As to default to the last used folder. The main place I want that is if I'm saving documents from the Web using a browser. But when doing a Save As from an existing local document, I nearly always want the default directory to be the directory where the original file is. *Nearly* always. I suppose in an ideal world, the computer would predict my mood and know exactly which directory to propose. Good luck with that. Firefox does something like that by default, choosing the directory according to the URL, and I hate it. Would this be practical? Perhaps the TDE Save As dialog grow a button to return to the Last Saved location. -- Steve

Let's say: 1) default to current dir 2.a) have a button available to select the last folder or 2.b) have a combo box available to choose from the last 10 used folders. Cheers Michele
