I made a test page to try out the editor in the update today. Clicking Export does not open the src directory to save it there. No indication that anything got exported. I do have a title and date included as required.

Thanks for your feedback. Does it open the "Save to" window?

Ah. I tried it in a different browser and that did open the "Save to" window. And that folder is the download folder in this case. And in that folder are a multitude of test markdown files -- all the clicks I made on Export did save in the default download folder.

My setting is to save all downloads there without asking. (Vivaldi browser) In Firefox it is also set to download to that folder without asking. But the Editor does give me the choice of where to put the file in Firefox. I wonder why Vivaldi is assuming this is a download.

It may be that the earlier version of the Editor was doing this same storage in the downloads folder. I think I noticed the problem and changed the download setting to let me choose location. I didn't use the Editor more than to test it and so I don't remember it well. I have set the browser to allow me to choose download location and I get the "Save to" window with that setting.
