Summary

When I load a recovery project copy after a crash, I want to save it in the original project's directory - usually under a new name (incrementing project version number) to make sure I have the last manually saved version as well - just in case. However - when saving the recovered project I need manually navigate to the project's directory, because olive doesn't remember it.

Blender stores the original project file's path and filename and sets that as default for save/save as operation after crash recovery.

Olive's crash recovery is excellent, and if not for it, I wouldn't be able to get far (I see lots of crashes recently), but I need to keep the project directory path handy to copy/paste it or I'll need to spend some extra time just getting that back every time I need to recover from crash (which is often).
