Every time I load a file into Handbrake, it defaults back to "C:\Users\<username>\Videos" for the "Save As" (i.e., output) folder.
I know that I can go into:
Tools
Preferences
Output Files
Default Path, Click 'Browse' to set the default location
But that would just set a different "fixed" path.
Is it possible to have Handbrake default to the same folder as the source file?
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
N/A
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.3.3 (2020061300)
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 64-bit
