mavericks does not remember last folder used

I have attempted to duplicate that problem without any success.

Maybe if you can provide more details on exactly how you are seeing that we might be able to duplicate it.

I am having the exact same problem.

I work with Adobe CS all day and need to open files in the same folders time after time.

I open one illustrator file, then want to open another in the same folder and it always defaults back to the documents folder.

It is very frustrating and probably takes up about an hour of my time each day!

I haven't been able to find a preference for this, does anyone have any ideas?

I am having the same problem now too.

in Illustrator, when placing images from a folder I need to navigate to the folder for every image.

What happened?

What am I looking for to find a solution to this.

thanks

Having same problem with MSPowerpoint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator. Happens on my MacBook Air and my iMac...running Mavericks on both. It's just an annoying little diversion, not a roadblock, but I'd sure like to see a fix if anyone knows of one. Thanks in advance.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I'll add my name to the list of people unhappy with this change. It's extremely annoying.

me too. it's a very annoying waste of my time. come on apple, you're supposed to be better than the rest

Apple is not here

Same here although it only happens for me in Illustrator. If a solution is found, please share.

This used to work so well in earlier versions of the MacOS but ever since OSX it has never worked for me, so I ended up investing in Default Folder, which does the job and doesn't mess up the system. It's expensive though, for what it is.

I have this exact same problem with no resolution. As an example, when I save multiple attachments from an e-mail, I get prompted for each file where to save them, and even when I change the location for the first file, each subsequent prompts sends me right back to the Documents folder, so I have to find my desired location again and again and again for each attachment. Very frustrating and inconvenient! It doesn't work this way in Snow Leopard.

I have been using maverick for a while and I am having the same problem only since I had the latest important security OS update couple days ago...

It also only happenes when I use Adobe Illustrator, other applications seems fine.

I am having this same problem. It is immensely frustrating because it breaks the flow of my thinking process and slows me down. Like others, I open files multiple times in any given work day and it is just intuitive that one would more than likely open a file from the same directory as the previous location - or as another already opened file.

If anyone reading this knows of a similar app/extension that can remember the last folder used while still in the app or environment, feel free to pass the info along. There used to be a 3rd party extension back in the late 90's/2000's that was perfect, but it's long out of my memory and I got tired of keeping up with OS/software incompatibilities, required/paid updates, or HD failures.

Ironic that as technology and the CPU speed sales hype increased, someone forgot that simplicity and intuitiveness is what makes a great, highly-efficient machine and experience.

This issue has been driving me crazy for months. Has anyone found an actual fix? It wastes all kinds of my time when working with multiple files.
