Hello. Nice Forum really.

I know Alt+B creates a bitmap copy of the object selected, but it saves the copy in the home folder. I want to change the folder the copy is saved. Is there a way to do so?

Thanks for reading. :)

I would search the issues and add a feature request if there is none. https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues?scope=all&state=opened&label_name[]=save%2Bexport&search=bitmap

Yes, according to the source code:

// Build the complete path by adding document base dir, if set, otherwise home dir

So once you have saved the .svg, it should default to the folder the .svg is saved.

Tested on Ubuntu 20.10.

Thanks for the answer. It's a pretty nice feature. It makes me to save the .svg file before anything else is happening.
