This is either a bug or a feature request, depending on perspective; my apologies if I've picked the wrong one. Additional discussion can be found here.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an entity
2. Run "Create Library Item" [BT]
3. Select Reference Point
Expected outcome:
"Save As" dialogue opens in the directory that the previous library item was saved in
Actual outcome:
"Save As" dialogue opens in ( RSettings.getLaunchPath() + "/libraries" )
Additional Context:
The reason I've categorized this as a bug is because, relative to the behaviour of the main "Save As" dialogue (which does remember the last directory used) the behaviour of the "Create Library Item" "Save As" dialogue is unexpected.
Software versions:
QCAD 3.25.2 Pro
Windows 10 Pro

Off course,
when certain that the path is valid, it doesn't require the fix anymore ...
Form me, you may close the request there this covers the reported issue.
