thanks to all who replied, but unfortunately it's not a matter of default directories and stuff, which i've already got setup.
all i wanted was for any file i opened to automatically have it's default save location as the file's actual location, though it appears this only happens if you open it from the FILE/OPEN dialog, as opposed to say double-clicking it in explorer or shelling it somehow. that's cool, was just really bugging me to go and find the place i just went and found already in order to save it. cheers. -----Original Message----- From: Simmonds, Ashley (DTUP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 16 November 2004 1:24 PM To: MapInfo-L Subject: MI-L default werkspace save location hey, i'm getting really annoyed at this. prior to now, most of my stuff has been defined in code, so werkspaces were just a convenient package to start with. now, i need to keep opening, modifying and saving werkspaces on several different systems/logins. every time i make a change somewhere and go to save, the default save directory is either C:\ or the My Documents area, which is a total pain in the arse considering we have a daft netwerk directory tree where to get anywhere useful requires going through about 7 levels of directories, among hundreds of siblings. i'd never noticed this issue as i'd never needed to save a werkspace more than once every few months, but now doing it dozens of times a day is a real chore. can MI be set to have it's save dialog automatically at the location where the CURRENT werkspace file already resides? if not, why not? also consider that i am doing this on multiple systems/logons, so a command WITHIN the werkspace would be preferable... ash --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14044 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14078
