Re: Question about paths

The Save and Save As menu options default location is based on the
current working directory where Abiword is started. That is, if you
start Abiword in a terminal window with the current directory being
the "Documents" subdirectory, the Save and Save As menu options will
default to that directory instead of the home directory.

Depending on your desktop environment you may be able to change the
working directory for the menu entry that launches Abiword. If not
then you can create a Bash script to launch Abiword which changes to
the Documents subdirectory and then executes Abiword. This script can
be launched by changing the menu command for Abiword or by setting up
a shortcut key for it.
