Preferences Config Editor says: messenger.save.dir C:\Users\User name\Desktop or messenger.save.dir C:\Users\User name\Desktop\hold So this keeps up correctly with last manually selected folder, but it is used by default regardless of whether you select : Preferences > Attachments > Incoming Select: 'Save files to and select eg: 'Desktop' - note it can be any folder. OR Select: 'Always ask me where to save files' Test: Select: 'Save files to and click on 'Browse' and choosing another folder eg: C:\Users\User name\Desktop\Test doc dump But this is never auto selected until I manually select it when it will update : messenger.save.dir C:\Users\User name\Desktop\test doc dump and then that folder is offered but I still have to use 'Save' or 'Select Folder' before any saving is performed - there is no auto saving.

It is as if the Preferences > General > Files & Attachments - Select: 'Save files to' for auto saving no longer has any functionality because there is only a 'Save as' option when saving attachments.
