Current project folder gets confusing and always defaults to last work folder

Since i do a lot of work with reaper, i find some things audacity does easier and better like changing pitch and speed of a wav file… However, it seems to relentlessy default to the previous (last used) project folder. So when I save the project to the new spot, and then go to export wavs and mp3’s, i need to change the location for each export … it always defaults to the last location, even when i save the project in the new location. It should at least change all futre export locations to the new spot after you save the project file, or give you an option to change the “work” folder.

Audacity Settings (v. 3.4.2):

“Leave a field empty to go to the last directory used for this operation.
Fill in a field to always go to that directory for this operation”
