Working directory

Working directory

Working directory

(OP)
In Wildfire I set the working directory like I did in 2001, but the working directory changes depending on what I do.  ex. I back up a file to my C:\ and my working directory is now the C:\.  Is there a config setting I can change to correct this?

RE: Working directory

Pro Will change the default directory when you do a back-up. Only when you do a back-up. It was a topic on this issue. Search the database.

I did a search and didn't see it, but I will do it again.  It is not limited only to a back-up.  If I open a part from a folder other than my working folding it will make that folder my new working folder now.

RE: Working directory

Think what you're after is

file_open_default_folder working_directory

RE: Working directory

(OP)
I changed the config file to working_directory and the few test I did seemed to work great.  Thanks.
