OK found the problem: the PDFCamp printer driver is changing the 
working directory, so after printing using that driver "the 
defaultFolder" has changed to wherever you tell PDFCamp to write the 
PDF file to (Desktop, Documents, wherever).

This was easy to workaround, however it was quite unexpected. Is it a 
bug with Revolution for allowing it to happen, bug with PDFCamp for not 
restoring the working directory, or both?  Should this be a Rev bug 
report?
