My system: Mathematica 11.2, Windows 10
The problem: I want to configure my Mathematica system to save all graphics to the folder of the current notebook. Currently the default folder seems to be whatever folder was used the last time.
Caveat: I don't know what the various pieces of software do for me. I did all my programming in DOS-era, and the distinction between Mathematica-kernel and the FrontEnd/GUI is blurry for me.
I asked for help in the appropriate StackExchange forum. There the useful suggestion to give the command
SetDirectory[NoteBookDirectory[]]
was given. While helpful, this is unsatisfactory, for apparently it only affects the default output folder of an Export-command.
My uneducated guess is that the mouse action in "Save Graphics As" does not touch the kernel, and it is thus blissfully unaware of the above command. On the other hand, the Export-command is affected by that.
How can I configure the mouse interface (the FrontEnd??) to also use the folder of the current notebook as the default folder for saving graphics? Why isn't the folder of the notebook NOT the default folder for the mouse action of "save graphics as"?
