[Qgis-developer] Output directory

Hi all,
a long standing issue in QGIS is the fact that several commands and core
plugins (not to speak about external plugins) do not honour the "last
used directory rule" for saving files. As a result, the behaviour is
unpredictable and confusing.
I would suggest:
* do a thorough revision of the default destination dir for all commands
(I hope this can be done programmatically)
* maybe adding an option "Always save in the default output directory",
just like the Download dir in Firefox
* making this the default also for external plugins.
Thoughts?
All the best.
