How to reproduce

Start a new project
File->Import->Import 3MF/STL/STEP/SVG/OBJ/AMF
2a. ...or hit Ctrl-I if you're nasty.
Navigate to some directory with importables, ~/whoopty/hoop/
Save project as
have to navigate back to the last directory you touched.

Actual results

Basically I want either a default behavior or a switch where I can make all file dialogs share the last used directory state. I don't want to have to keep navigating back to my working directory every time I open a new file dialog.

Expected results

Step 5 shouldn't happen; the save as dialog should have opened on to the last directory I touched from the import dialog.

Project file & Debug log uploads

Project file is irrelevant here.
