How does one change the PDF export default directory to $HOME?

Asked by Christopher Forster

Hi all. In Kubuntu 10.10 the default save directory for PDF export is here:
~/.libreoffice/3/user/gallery/

How does one change that directory to simply $HOME? Thanks!

(note: simply saving in $HOME does not work, upon closing and
reopening LO the export directory reverts to the gallery)

As per the same thread source, Tools -> Options -> Paths -> Graphics and edit the path as desired.
