Default Save Location QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Default Save Location supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Automatically sets and enforces a consistent default save location for all QGIS Dialogs.
About
The plugin redirects save paths, file widgets, and browse dialogs to a user-defined project folder, ensuring that new layers and exports always land in the correct directory. Bare filenames typed into QGIS widgets are expanded automatically, and missing folders are created on the fly. Includes configurable defaults and project-aware folder detection. It comes equipped with an automatic folder detection which can be customised by the user. You can find the plugin via Settings -> Default Save Location.
