InDesign 16.0 saves Converted files in last used folder, not containing folder
On Catalina OSX (10.15.7), InDesign 2021 (16.0) saves a Converted file to the last used Finder folder, rather than the folder the document is contained in.
Happens with 'Save As...', as well as saving InCopy assignments.

    The fix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign – version 16.0.1.
Please update to this version to get the fix.

 commentedWindows 10 version here too. I have been spending far too much of my time trying to find files that have been saved to the wrong folder. Not to mention the embarrassment factor of sending out the wrong files to clients. Get it together Adobe, this is making us (and by extension you) look amateur!

 commentedIt has been that way since Indesign 1.0. 
 All the same bugs as the past versions as far as I can see.
 I would list them all here, but there is really no point. They remain, and just get added to, never fixed.

 commentedCosting us all time and money. Dear Adobe, will you issue InDesign users who upgraded and now can't downgrade a refund? Your "improved" version is getting us all in trouble with clients. NOT GOOD. What is taking so long?

 commentedCome on Adobe, this issue has been looked at for 4 months. Do you guys not use your programs in a working environment before you release them? It totally disrupts work flow.

 commentedHappening to me as well. I run a print shop and printing the older file that was in the customer folder has cost me a lot of money because I had to reprint the order with the correct file AFTER searching to find where it was.

 commentedPlease Adobe, on my opinion only a few codelines are necessary to change this behavior. So why you do not provide a hotfix instead of collecting many bugs to fix it in a major update? You only have to compare those code lines to the previous versions and that's it. PLEASE provide a FAST Hotfix!

 commentedSo I saved a file, it went to the wrong folder, I've somehow clicked the name of the other file that was in there without realising, lost my entire file and had to create the whole job again from scratch - after the client had signed it off! Arggghhh!!!!!!

 commentedAlong with this bug, I'm also noticing these additional issues: 1.) When I open a legacy version .indd file, the .idlk file that is automatically created disappears once the document opens. This wasn't happening before. Even if the [Converted] file was created in a previous version of InDesign, the .idlk would remain in the folder until the file was closed. 2.) When I open a .indd created by the CURRENT (2021) version of InDesign, an asterisk appears in front of the file name upon opening, as if I've made changes to the file. So I'm prompted to save files that I've JUST opened, even if no changes are made. Really annoying. I'm aware that correlation doesn't always equal causation, BUT... these 3 issues ALL have to do with file opening/saving so it could be possible that these are related.
