    I keep seeing this sentiment from people who are supposedly savvy with computers. I never have to question where a file was saved to on Windows and I’m not sure why you guys do.

        Here fucking here. I never don’t have a hard time figuring out where a saved file went on my phone. And every app seems to have it’s own idea of where the best place to put downloaded files should be.

      Garden variety low effort meme. haha windows (or windass or windowns or whatever) bad so funiiii lolololololo etc - a few linuxmemes are basically… this.

      Not sure what it does in programmer humor though - if you, as a programmer, find yourself in this situation… just git gud?

        One of the very very very few good features of macOS: cmd-click the title bar of a document window to pop up a window with the document location.

        It does not work on Microsoft’s products on macOS though.

    • Windows seems to have irregular behavior in this regard. It usually defaults to the downloads folder. But sometimes it defaults to the last folder I saved a file to.

      It might just be windows being buggy or something, but there were a number of time where I hit save and then the file is not where I expected it to be.

      I could have prevented the mistake by paying attention first, but windows could also be consistent.

    • sometimes i am not sure when like paint that saved the filepath for the pic that was made a few months before. In that case i use save as again to look where it should have put my file and copy the path

    • Yep it’s just click top.toolbar see the breadcrumbs…it used to be a problem 15years ago and I still.question the name it uses when I open a file from outlook (why not downloads) but is pretty easy to find again
