Description:
In the other versions the program was good enough to "remember" the output directory for the forward engineer SQL create script command.  Now with the new UI it seems to always reset to the program's install directory, which means a lot more clicking every time I regenerate the script.

How to repeat:
Ctrl-Shift-G, browse button.  finish.
Ctrl-Shift-G, browse button.  (see, back to the install directory!)

Suggested fix:
For each mwb file, remember the last output directory and try setting the folder to there first.

Thank you for the problem report. I'd say it is a (regression) bug.

this was fixed for 5.1.16

An entry was added to the 5.1.16 changelog:

In the Forward Engineer SQL Script wizard, the location opened by the Browse button defaulted to the MySQL Workbench install directory. However, after an output script file was set the location opened by the Browse button returned to the default, rather than remembering the last location accessed. This required navigating to the correct location each time the script was regenerated.
