Target directory is not correct

DxO ViewPoint macOS topics
1

Hi,
I bought ViewPoint 5. I use the software on a Mac Mini M4.

I manage my images in Excire Photo and transfer them to external photo software for editing.
This also works with ViewPoint. The photo is transferred but when saving the image after editing, ViewPoint does not suggest the correct directory. It only remembers the last directory used. This makes little sense because I don’t want to remember where the image is saved.
Is this normal in ViewPoint.

All other photo editors do not have this problem.

Hi and welcome here.

In the standalone version of VP (Windows version), you can save your changes by overwriting the original. – To avoid this, use the “Save As” option. You can then change the name and/or save location/folder.

I assume it’s no different on the Mac.

That is correct. I want to save the file name with an addition DXO in the file name in the same directory. But it is absurd that I have to tell the computer where this photo was originally located.
I also jump into Radiant Photo 2 and that program has no problem with it.
