      Hi,

      when saving a file with “save as” I often copy a path to a folder from Windows explorerer, paste it into the filename field and press enter.

      Lets say I paste:

      “C:\Users\Eins\Downloads” and press enter.

      The normal (all programs do so, seems to be the standard Windows behaviour) behaviour is:

      the files-save-dialogue goes into C:\Users\Eins\Downloads and shows the default/current filename to edit.

      Notepad++ behaviour:

      Save the file as “C:\Users\Eins\Downloads.txt” , so:

      1. wrong dierectory, C:\Users\Eins\ instead of C:\Users\Eins\Downloads
      2. wrong filename Downloads.txt instead of what I want to enter

      This strange behaviour exists since years in Notepad++ and makes it very hard to work with everytime this happens.

      Could this be fixed in the next time???

      I think I am not the only one being frustrated about this error.

      Best
      Sebastian
