Allow to set a default so Export Recipes are reset to Session Default (Output) when starting a new session

Currently, Export Recipes will remember the last used output location when changed from Session Default (Output). I would like to propose an option that when you start a new session, the Export Recipes destination/route is automatically reset to Session Default (Output) rather than remembering the last used destination that you may have changed in a previous session and exporting to that destination

Current workaround

Manually reselect/redirect each recipe back to the Session Default (Output) option when starting a new session

    Hi Paul, thanks for the feedback!

    There is already a default option that maps to the current session's output folder:

    If you choose another one (like "edits" in my above screenshot), it will keep it across different sessions, but if you choose to default to the output it will point to the output folder in your current session.


    Those settings are saved at the export recipe level, so that also means you can create two different copies of the same recipe, one that points to output, the other that points to a specific folder, and then activate the one you need depending on the situation.


    Let me know if this is helpful or if I have missed your point?
