TSIA. When working with backgrounds in title designer, when selecting a folder for backgrounds, it reverts to the prevous folder each time. Older versions didn't do this.

When inserting images, once a folder is selected, it keeps returning to that same folder, and then that folder becomes the default folder for inserting backgrounds--and this is my workaround. But this should also work for inserting a background.

Or is there an option somewhere that I'm missing?

There aren't any options, but try this: navigate to your desired folder with the Insert image tool (you don't even need to load any images), then click on Insert background. It should open in the same folder.

Insert Image has been my workaround, but I didn't try it without actually inserting an image and then deleting it. I'll give that a try. Still annoying, but it'll simplify things by a couple of steps. Thanks.
