Scenario 1.
Song title: TurtlesAreNice
Open export mixdown window.
Filename is preset as "Mixdown".
Ok I change it to TurtlesAreNice and export.
Make some changes to song and open export mixdown again.
Filename is now Mixdown again.
Change filename to TurtlesAreNice. Export.
etc.

Scenario 2.
Song title has been changed to just "Turtles" and saved. I like that title better.
Open export mixdown window.
Filename is either Mixdown or still TurtlesAreNice.
Change it to Turtles and export audio mix.
Make some changes to song and open export mixdown window.
Filename is now again either Mixdown or still TurtlesAreNice.
etc.

Scenario 3.
I forgot to change filename from "Mixdown" for at few songs exports.
So now I have Mixdown.mp3, Mixdown(2).mp3 and Mixdown(1).mp3 in the export folder.
I forgot which is which.

This is all annoying and confusing for my workflow with many quick mixdown tests for multiple songs.
Sometimes it's stubborn or random, other times not. I don't get it.
I wish it would use either the song title or last used filename as default.
Or at least have a tickbox for that option.

Would also be nice if last used export location was default for every export after.
Or at least with a tickbox for that.
