When loading a game from a folder (e.g., C:\games\vassal\BKN Saves), Vassal does not appear to remember the location…

So after playing a turn or three and I want to Save As, I have to manually navigate to the correct folder location.

It would be a nice feature if Vassal would default to the same folder location a saved game was loaded from…

I am having trouble reproducing this problem with Save Games, but it is definitely a problem with Save As from the Module Editor. Can you confirm you have it with Save Games in the Player and list the exact steps to reproduce it?  
Thanks.

Hi Brent -

The problem is only with “Save As” - I don’t use “Save” as I like to update the filename with the new date  
Example: Load JohnDoeGame\_20200612; Save As JohnDoeGame\_20200620

So again, it’s only a problem that “Save As” doesn’t remember the folder location that the game was loaded from…

Is this still an issue with the current development build, VASSAL-3.5.0-SNAPSHOT-07e96c8cd, available here?

Never got a chance to test the 3.5.0snapshot, but it’s working as desired in 3.5.3.
