I feel this way about iOS.
Mobile in general. At one point, I tried setting up Syncthing to be able to manage files remotely for vlc, but android wouldn’t let the two programs access the same space with read/write permissions.
Last week, I was trying to convert a video and the program(FFShare) wouldn’t tell me where it was even saving the file to.
Microsoft Outlook puts attachments that you open in some insane temporary folder. That’s fine for viewing a file but god forbid you save without changing the full path.
I hate this meme. It’s downloads/documents or wherever you saved the document the first time. And you chose that location.
It’s downloads/documents
Lies, it’s always Sharepoint or OneDrive, you have to fight with Office if you want to save it locally. And it’s been like this for the past 10 years.
There is a hack that Windows users can use. It is called Everything Search. Install it and set your drives to be auto indexed and auto identify changes. Any file saved or modified can be found systemwide this way.
Fsearch exists on Linux if you want this for Linux too.
This method works for people who hate Recent Files bad for their privacy.
With the everything toolbar addon to add a search bar in your toolbar if you want seemless experience.
I just have the Everything Search on the Windows key + 0-9 hotdial, since you can launch one of the first 10 programs on the taskbar that way.
