Most of my .tm files are in ~/.TeXmacs/texts/AGT/ directory. Sometimes I want to put the result of PDF export of one of these files onto my site. To do this I export a .pdf into the directory ~/public_html/math/out/binaries/ and afterward call the command "sitecopy -u math" which copies the files from my local copy of the site onto an FTP server.
It is clear that to work this way, it is better when Export PDF dialog remembers the last directory used. |

If I work on some article in some directory, and want to export it as .tex, or .html, or .ps, or .pdf, then the most natural place for all these forms is in the same directory, I think. And this is the current behaviour: all places are relative to the directory of the current .tm file. Most natural. If later I dicide that I want one of these files somewhere else, I simply say

I have advised just to remember the dir between openings of the file dialogs during one TeXmacs run.
For example I need to type a directory before each PDF export. It is clearly not good. |

I really HATE programs which remember in which directory they were started last time. If I start texmacs in

Options proliferation is an issue, but there aren't that many (yet). Especially under the "Loading and saving" category. |

The export dialog box should remember the last directory which a file was exported to. |

On my computer (and using the Qt version), the file browser allows me to drag and drop directories which are used often to a side panel. In this way, I can go to these directories using a single click, even after closing and restarting TeXmacs. Would this not be a simpler and better solution to your problem?
