Photoshop: Save for Web should respect "Save As" to original folder preference
Say I'm working on two projects, I have 2 psd's open. If I do save as for web/save as.. it selects the last folder used. Which is actually useful - but sometimes it's a curse. We need an option to turn this "feature" off. To have the option of saving for web/as in the same folder as the current psd.
Let me explain why.
Project_1: Is in C:/project_1/designs
Project_2: Is in C:/project_2/designs
Say i have a psd open from both projects or i switch regularly between the two. If i want to save out a jpg from project1 and then save out a jpg from project2 - when saving a jpg for project2 it will select project1's folder because that was the last used folder. This is a HUGE pain. I have to literary jump through dozens of folders everytime i switch project.(The above was a simple file structure - but the large projects i work on have a more complicated folder tree).
It would be a HUGE HUGE HUGE help if there was an option that would turn OFF "remember the last saved folder" and instead save in the same folder as the psd...because at least even if i keep my jpgs seperate from my psd, it's faster for people to navigate from a relevant project folder than a folder in a completely different project.

As it stands right now, when you attempt to "Save for Web", the folder it saves to is the last folder you selected when using "Save for Web" the previous time.
I would like the option to "Save for Web" into the original folder of the PSD, by default. That's the way "Save As" works when you have "Save As to Original Folder" checked under the file handling menu.
Please, please, please, make this simple fix happen. I can't count how much time I've wasted navigating through my folders in order to save a file to the same folder that the PSD resides.
I beg you Adobe, give us this option!
Thanks for your time.

Would it be possible to remember the previous "Save for Web" file location of the current file.
Right now, the location of the previous file is remembered by default. Maybe store the location in the PSD file whenever a "Save for Web" is done. InDesign behaves like this for PDF exports.
This would be a huge time saver for me since I export several files to several locations regularly.

At my company we've decided we want the product images listed on magento resized and saved for web manually by ourselves instead of the website doing it automatically from a larger file (also saved for web previously). So the job is now to go into each folder of 1000+ products, drag an image into photoshop and save if for web in the same location. As you can imagine the folder tree for 1000+ items is enormous. So I created an action that, when played, it resizes to specified size, exports 'save for web' and closes the file down. Then I can drag another and press play. But obviously that wouldn't work, so I had to create a folder on my desktop called 'save for web' and that's where I save all my files and drag them from there to the folder I originally used to open the image from. It's a quick fix but very painful!
