When Qimage saves a Job setting, it saves all the images now in the queue. But it doesn't ever seem to save the path that was used at the time you selected the images from the thumbnail panel.

That is: When the restored job appears, the thumbnail images don't change from the previous job, which you are now replacing.

When recalling a previously saved job, is there a way to get ALL of the information in a single shot: printer settings, page settings, queue, AND the previously saved directory containing the images?

The thumbnail grid shows your current location.  It cannot be assumed that you want to leave your current location to view thumbnails from one of the (potentially multiple) folders used in the job when a job is opened.  Your job may contain images from multiple folders.  You may have navigated the thumbnail viewer to a new folder and then wish to open an old job to replace/add images from that new folder, at which point you don't want the thumbnail viewer to automatically leave your current location.  Etc.

If you open a job and then wish to view the thumbnails in a particular print's folder, you have to tell QU that is your intention: right click on a print in the Live View and select "Browse Selected Image's Folder".
