Open a .doc document. file->save as. navigate to a non-default location
on your system to save the document. click save. the "Keep current
format / Save in ODF" dialog appears. that's cool - obviously I didn't
want to save the document in this diabolic format. click "Save in ODF
Format". A completely new "Save As" dialog appears, again, in the
default save location - which means the effort the user invested in
navigating to the desired location and selecting a file name is wasted.

Proposed improvements:
1. Save the previos location and filename, except for extenstion if it exists.
2. Put the "Keep current format / Save in ODF" dialog in the begining of the flow (immediatly after the user clicks "Save As").

Title:
  [upstream] "Save as ..." dialog forgets chosen file name and directory
  after format pop-up question

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Incomplete
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  I opened a .doc from an evolution mail attachement and modified it. To
  save it permanently (i.e. not in ~/.evolition/...) I selected the
  "save as ..." menu entry. In the dialog I changed the name and and
  created and selected a subdirectory of my home directory. After
  pressing the "Save" button I was asked whether I wanted to keep the
  .doc format or save in .odf format.

  After choosing the .odf option (i.e. I changed the format from .doc to
  .odf), all the selections that I had done before (file name,
  directory) were lost. So pressing the "Save" button once again leads
  to storing the file in the original temporary location
  (~/.evolution/...).

  When I did this the first time I just wondered that the directory was
  empty after I thought I had stored the file there ...

  An easy way to loose hours of work ....
