Perhaps something could be set up so that saving as a GDF automatically suggests the correct save location for that file type?

You're welcome.
I understand that confusion, and I'm sorry that I caused it. Since GCA4 made use of Save As for that, it used the standard character save location and didn't know about special cases until after the dialog was closed.
GCA 5 doesn't use the Save As dialog to save a character as a template (it's a separate option on the File menu), and it will prompt for saves to the user's Books folder by default, rather than to the Characters folder. (Note, I just added this feature to GCA5, so it's not currently available in the Beta Preview release.)
