Indexing through folders in "export as" - Gimlet - 03-06-2022

When I select "Export as" it shows all the drives I have, just like Windows File Viewer.
I then select the drive I need, then the folder, then the required sub folder.
I then export the item of interest to that sub folder.
However, when I want to move on to the next sub folder, it seems I hare to start over and select the drive etc again.
Is there a way to "index / switch" to the next sub folder in the sequence, without repeating the whole selection process?

I suppose it will depend on your workflow but you should be able to swap sub-folders using the path top of the Export dialogue. No need to go right back to the Drive letter.

Also, for any session the export settings should be retained between exports making things a little quicker.

I had to squeeze this a bit to get it into a minute for Imgur but this is what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/4QlQ4yL.mp4
