"Save As" dialog always defaults to sketchbook folder

[aalucia]

Describe the problem

in Arduino IDE 2.3.6, the behavior of "Save As" has changed compared to previous versions. Previously, the IDE would remember the last used directory and open the "Save As" dialog in that folder. However, in 2.3.6, it defaults to the Arduino default sketch directory (usually Documents/Arduino), regardless of where you last saved or opened a sketch.

To reproduce

use "save as"

Expected behavior

should go to the last used directory, but goes to default one instead

Arduino IDE version

2.3.6

Operating system

Linux

Operating system version

Suse linux

Additional context

until 2.3.4 did work correctly, note: cannot install lates nighly build

Issue checklist

• I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
• I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build
• My report contains all necessary details

Hi @aalucia. Thanks for your report. I just did some testing with Arduino IDE 2.3.6 on a Linux machine and was not able to reproduce the fault. For me, the behavior of which folder is selected in the "Save As" dialog by default is exactly the same in 2.3.6 as in 2.3.4.

It might be that my failure to reproduce the fault is because I am not using the correct procedure. Please provide detailed step by step instructions I can follow to reliably reproduce the fault on my computer.

Hi, the steps are: 1) open a sketch from "recent ones"  (or choose a sketch form a directory) 2) save as -> saving dialog proposes the default directory and not the one from where the "recent" comes from On version 2.3.4 instead a new windows pop up and is possible to choose from "bookmarked" directories.
