Subsequent "save as" file prompts default to the wrong directory #914
Description
Description
When opening a "save as" file prompt, it shows the directory that was last used to save an image.
However, if the save fails, a new file prompt opens, and this one seems to use the current working directory rather than the last directory used to save an image.
To Reproduce
- Create an image over 255x255
- Open the "save as" prompt
- Save the image as a "ico" file (this is to ensure the save fails as the image is too big)
- The new prompt defaults to the current working directory, rather than the last used directory.
Version
tested on both v2.1.2 and latest master (0755127)

This might be platform-specific - on macOS the file picker's directory didn't change for me

Personally it happened on linux, specifically under KDE Plasma 6.
Also of note is that i don't have portals enabled, so it's using the GNOME file picker and not the Plasma file picker.
I'll try to dig a little deeper and see what might be causing it.

At the very least, moving the
fcd.SetCurrentFolder (dir);inside the whilefcd.RunBlocking ()loop fixed the issue on my end.Should i make a PR with the fix? It's pretty weird that it's platform dependant, so i'm not sure if it could be a GTK bug instead.

Pinta does use the native file picker, so there have been various platform-specific problems. I can do some testing on Mac / Windows if you make a PR 👍
