I know that this is a Wish List item (No 411**), but it's been around since 2009 and it's quite frustrating that nothing's been done:
(** by the way, the weblink in there just returns a Page Not Found error. The item is here:
Ref 411 Setting paths to folders for backups, diags etc
"Whenever you save a diagramme or do a backup,
or in fact save anything, you are prompted with the
folder you most recently used in the session.
I suggest that a preferences item be provided,
where paths may be specified for seperate folders
where things get saved to disc, ie a backups folder,
a diagrams folder etc etc.
An alternative would be for FH to remember the folder
you last used for that function and default to that
(as AS does) - at least you would only have to choose
once."
A particular pain when the most recently used folder is the backup location, which I my case is on another disk, and I then have about 6 mouse clicks to get back to the last "data entry" location. Even if it defaulted to the media folder for the current project that would be better.

Couldn't have put it better! Seven years on, FH's lack of responsiveness here is a real PITA. C'mon Simon, we appreciate that you wish to attract immigrants from TMG et all, but please, spare a thought for long-standing niggles reported by your original users.
