@DrChiper - on Windows I noticed that the starting location in step 5.3 is within the folder I created and selected in step 3.

So if in step 3, I created and selected "C:\_Scratch\Savebook" as the save to folder, then in step 5.3 the select folder dialogue opens in "C:\_Scratch\Savebook".

One could argue it should open in "C:\_Scratch". I can imagine some might create a new 'Savebook' folder within the existing "C:\_Scratch\Savebook", so the second save would go to to "C:\_Scratch\Savebook\Savebook". I'm not sure if this is peculiar to STD, Calibre, Windows 10... or This PC.

I have always kept a very close watch on save locations in all software. Some default to locations such as windows\system32, or their install locations, or some place you didn't even know existed! So the above didn't bother me, I just backspaced to "C:\_Scratch", almost without even thinking about it.
