Setting to specify a default output folder for "Direct export to PDF" ONLY with "Direct export to PDF", NOT with file>export to pdf or save as and then choosing pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------- I do a lot of work that when I print it, export to pdf first. Then I ask someone to print it for me. The files that I export are set on a folder on a USB-stick in the same location. It would be really handy and speed up the exporting enormously if I could specify a default output folder (like the location on my usb-stick). Then when I hit the export to pdf, it always exports to that folder without asking. Of course there will be people who aren't happy with this so could you make a setting in the "settings" menu in "Save/load".
That will also give users the opportunity to change this location when they need to. (For saving to my usb-stick, I need to be able to let OOo choose a drive according to the name: The usb-stick is called PRINTME (G:) and the folder is G:\Printme\ For making OOo recognise the same usb-stick, it cannot do this by the drive letter (for example: "L"), but it can only recognise that same stick correctly by the drive name (for example "USB PRINTME"). Because when it is taken out of the computer and I connect something else and reconnect my printing usb-stick. The drive letter has changed, but not the name. So OOo wouldn't find the location it should save too. (Of course this will be a setting to choose from the drive name or letter)
So OOo wouldn't find the location it should save too if it used the letters. (If you save on a hard drive that cannot be removed, then this drive can be correctly recognized by it's letter.)
