The File pull-down menu contains the following entries: 

The file selection dialog (figure 2.4) allows you  to select a file in the right side listing or to navigate through the file system by selecting a directory, including .., the parent directory, in the left side listing. You can select a file or directory by either: 1. quickly double clicking on an entry, 2. single clicking on an entry and clicking OK or 3. filling in the field labeled Selection and clicking OK. The Filter field on top determines which file names are displayed. You can edit the filter setting, which takes effect after clicking the Filter button.

When you change directory in the load or save to file dialog then the directory field in the main window is updated to that directory after that you dismissed the dialog. So with the load or save to file dialog you can browse through the file system and the latest visited directory is always remembered in the directory text field. The export dialog from the Print menu also remembers its last visited directory but independently from the directory from the load or save to file dialog.
