Changing default paths...

I have just installed v3, and this is a great piece of software. Yous rock!!!

I have noticed that when I try to export to PDF, I get a default path of "/home/" instead of a folder where I have write permission. I looked for a way to change default paths (including searching through all the scripts), but I can't find anything. I was just wondering if there was a tag I could run the binary with, a dot-file I can change the settings in, or is this hard-wired in the binary? Thanks. This isn't a big deal, but I tend to click through things without paying attention, and being that there were no errors, I assumed it had been done.

Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement!

PDF export is supposed to use your home directory ~ by default, e.g. /home/username

In the current development version this has been slightly changed to default to the same directory where the current drawing is stored and, if the current drawing is unsaved, default to ~ (/home/username).
