I would like to change the location of the default output directory for reports. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for suggestions —

Robert

If you are talking about PDF reports then that is possible.
Use the Print... button and open the Family Historian PDF Properties....
In the Save tab use Configure Save Options..., select Always use this folder and Browse... to your choice.
OK out and that folder should get used for PDF reports henceforth.

take a look at
and viewtopic.php?f=32&t=19150#
Autohotkey (AHK) "Productivity" shortcuts
and it's related KB pages
AutoHotkey
AutoHotKey Scripts
script 2 has a direct report print option which could be amended for many report requirements

Code: Select all

; <><> from REPORT window, print direct to RTF file and open in default App
;     From anywhere in the fucused Report window      
;     This saves the report as RTF file and opens it in the default App, 
;      gives filename yyyymmdd-hhmmss so no need for replace file dialogue.
;        for a different folder edit accordingly - care re unusual characters. 
;     To choose PDF, Web, Text, amend the number of {Down}s after the {Enter} .
