Finder- Reopen Last Closed Window Finder does not seem to navigate to the last folder opened. For instance, when I am saving several files or images - it would be nice to (and used to ) open in the last place I placed something - now it defaults to "User" and I have to navigate each time - very frustrating.
In Finder, use the Go in menu => Recent Folders. This is the closest you can get to


  "open[ing] in the last place I placed something"

If you don't like the default, you can change the default Finder window to open as well. Go to Preferences in Finder.
