Setting paths to folders for backups, diags etc
Posted: 23 Jan 2016 13:37
I know that this is a Wish List item (No 411**), but it's been around since 2009 and it's quite frustrating that nothing's been done:
(** by the way, the weblink in there just returns a Page Not Found error. The item is here:
Ref 411 Setting paths to folders for backups, diags etc
"Whenever you save a diagramme or do a backup,
or in fact save anything, you are prompted with the
folder you most recently used in the session.
I suggest that a preferences item be provided,
where paths may be specified for seperate folders
where things get saved to disc, ie a backups folder,
a diagrams folder etc etc.
An alternative would be for FH to remember the folder
you last used for that function and default to that
(as AS does) - at least you would only have to choose
once."
A particular pain when the most recently used folder is the backup location, which I my case is on another disk, and I then have about 6 mouse clicks to get back to the last "data entry" location. Even if it defaulted to the media folder for the current project that would be better.
