[Gimp-user] Set default Save As folder?

2017-05-15 Thread Lusus
When explaining pretty much anything like this online its best to assume the
reader has little or no knowledge of what you're trying to say. Otherwise more
often than not it won't make sense.

I write tutorials as well as read them, and it can be very frustrating when
people cut corners. Quite frankly if you don't give the full information the
reader is looking for, its a waste of both your time and theirs.

This is confusing. Firstly, where and what is the file chooser?  Secondly what
parent directory and what left pane?

Half explained information isn't really of much use.

My attempt at explaining this. Full sentences help:

The easiest way to add a default save/export folder is to do it from within
Gimp.

As you’re about to export your image you’ll inevitably be taken to the default
export folder. Navigate to the folder you want to save the image to, then look
to the left of the export window.

Towards the lower left you’ll see a ‘+’ icon below a panel with a few folder
names. Select your preferred folder from the list to the right of the export
window then click the ‘+’ icon to bookmark the folder to the panel.

Gimp may not automatically open this folder when you next export an image, but
it will be easily accessible from this list of bookmarks. Just click it and Gimp
will open it for you to export to.

If this sounds a little confusing, follow the steps with Gimp open and it should
make sense.
