Save location for imported RAW files

I edit RWW files via iCloud Drive, nor iCloud Photos. When the edit setting “Overwrite Originals” is disabled, the imported .photo file is saved in my (Pixelmator) Photo folder on iCloud. If this setting is turned on, the resulting file is instead saved in the same folder as the original RAW file (DNG in my case). RAW files are always imported, so in my mind it doesn’t make much sense to have different behaviour based on what setting I would like to use for non-RAW files.

Is this expected behaviour and if so is there a way to decide default save folder? Given that RAW files are imported regardless I would prefer all imported RAW files to be stored in the Photo folder.
