"Save to" keeps saving to the wrong place
I want to save any newly downloaded or created documents (temporarily) to the desktop, and move them later after I edit them and it keeps pointing to "My Documents" instead. Even though the last place I saved something at was the desktop.
In fact I want everything saved to the desktop, unless I manually point them to another folder when the Save dialog comes up.
Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks
To default all saves to the desktop, change the default save location:
- Go to Settings > System > Storage > Advanced storage settings > Where new content is saved.
- Change "New documents will save to" to Desktop.
This sets Desktop as the default, but you can still manually choose another folder when saving files.
