Save GCODE on the same location as input file (STL, 3MF, ...)

I would like to create GCODE with Bambu Studio to save locally and print at a later point.

Problem description:

The file structure before slicing is:
├── mini_project_1
│ └── project_files_1.stl
├── mini_project_2
│ └── project_files_2.stl
└── mini_project_3
. . . └── project_files_3.stl

And I would like to save generated GCODE files at the same location as the STL files such that it becomes:

├── mini_project_1
│ ├── project_files_1.gcode
│ └── project_files_1.stl
├── mini_project_2
│ ├── project_files_2.gcode
│ └── project_files_2.stl
└── mini_project_3
. . . ├── project_files_3.gcode
. . . └── project_files_3.stl

I Open Bambu Studio by clicking on one of the STL files (e.g. project_files_1.stl). After Slicing I press “Export plate sliced file” and then “Export plate sliced file”, (this alone is 2 clicks and could be a single click, if you only want to save GCODE locally).

Then the file explorer opens at a certain location, I’d like it when this certain location is the same location as the input STL file (e.g. inside folder mini_project_1/).

Feature request:
Would it be possible to add an option to the settings to save GCODE in the same directory as the directory where the first input file was opened from?

Prusa slicer has such an option, it’s called “Remember output directory” which should be left unchecked.

Additional Question:
Is there a workaround for this? I could have missed something.

I have also asked this for the OrcaSlicer software (github issue):
