Current gives you always "mozilla.ps" as a file name, even when you come back
to print dialog from the same Firefox session.
:-)
That is a lot of work even for my small needs.
That is what I'm doing right now, but even that is not comfortable because the
input field is too short for any practical file name length. Mine are in
format:
<vendor_name>-<type_of_file>-<date>.pdf
and input field is barely longer than
mozilla.ps
I can't see whole name which doesn't help much when I want to change only
date.

I tested with gedit. I have an open file, select "save as", and a single
click on an existing file copies the name to the edit box, where I can
change a single letter if I want.
The problem is print dialog that will convert html web page to pdf file.
Ah, I see. Print, then print to file. There is a file name (previous one),
and directory select. There is no way to see the directory content.
Are you sure it was possible before, to browse file names? I agree it is a
nuisance.

Then, perhaps what I would do is print always to the same name, then copy
it to another place with another program.

Or use a browser to select any name, and then copy-paste to the
print dialog.
