e.g.: If you opened the file A and saved in a directory X, when you open the file B (saved on directory Y) and click on "Save As", the dialog box will open the directory X instead of Y.

Same goes for "Select Data Sources". If you choose a new directory, when you choose to "Save As" your file, it will direct you to the last Data Sources' directory.
