The "Export Again" button/feature is located under MySQL Workbench > Data Export > Export Progress > Export Again.
If you select "Export to Self-Contained File" under Export Options you will provide a path to the destination file.
>> C:\path\file.sql
If you now export your database and would like to use the "Export Again" button you would expect that MySQL Workbench exports your data to the same file as selected earlier, right?
But instead of that, MySQL Workbench exports your data to the default "Export Directory Path", configured in the Preferences.
>> C:\defaultpath\whereever\Dump123456789-1.sql
For my understanding that's not what "Export Again" should do at all.
