Remember Export Path

This page tries to collects the ideas how to cope with the different wishes regarding the output folder when exporting files.

List of possible ways to handle the output folder on export

• export always to the current working directory
• remember last used folder independent of the export type (PNG/STL/...)
• remember last used folder for each export type
• remember last export folder for each project (based on main file?)
• have additional preferences setting to force an output folder
• have additional preferences setting to force an output folder for each export type

Assumptions

In case directories are given in the preferences, those should always be absolute path. (how to handle the case when the path does not exist?).
