In preferences, set say D:\wedding\2023-05-18 as a master folder. This would be changed for every new project, if necessary.
Then all activity that requires loading, saving or exporting would go to that folder if one was set up. If the Master Folder is blank then the program would behave the same as it does now.
Or, at least, give me the option to choose, "Export to project location folder."
It is such a pain to change the export location when 99.9% of the time I export to the same folder as the project.
