Issue Summary

Following up on a discord conversation, https://discord.com/channels/342369662710972417/402984217702563871/869180648106110976 when exporting an animation the export path appears to be set to one of two options:

  • the home directory if a document hasn't been saved/exported previous
  • the path of the most recently exported animation

I feel that this is confusing as if I'm starting a new project I wouldn't want to export it to the location of an old project.

Actual Results

The default export path of an animation is set to either the home directory or the last saved project

Expected Results

Can the default export path be set to the path of the project file itself? Assuming, of course, that the pencil2d project has been saved. In the case that is hasn't it should default to the user's home director.
