getSavePath

Description
Returns the default directory that Shogun Post's Open and Save As dialog boxes initialize to, or the default directory of the Export dialog if the -e flag is specified.
Shogun's Open and Save dialog boxes share their default values. However, the Import and Export dialog boxes have different default values. The values of these may be set using the setSavePath command. The values also get updated whenever you use the dialog boxes.
For all file and directory paths, use forward-slashes instead of back-slashes.
To get the full path of the currently loaded file, use getSavePath to get the location that the file was opened from, followed by getSceneName to get the name.
