When doing a File > Save As... (CTRL + SHIFT + S) I think the best default directory should be the one of the file being saved as if it is already open.

This is because typically the use case to Save As... an already open file would be to create a 'copy' with a different name, most probably to create a new / different version and I think it makes sense to offer the same directory.

Currently I think RG picks the last opened or maybe last saved directory for the whole application which maybe works when users are working with very few projects files. In my case I organise pieces in directories and subdirectories and this feature would be very useful.

If other users had strong feelings against this proposal (not sure why... but I might miss something), I'd be happy for it to be an option such as ('Save As starts in current file's directory')
