I'm running Windows XP and do have a preferences.properties file. I opened it and verified that it contains recently modified preferences (e.g. last opened file list, etc.).
XMLmind does remember the last used directory for opening files. However, at least on my system, it does not remember it when saving new files: - Create a new document - Modify it - Save it -- the folder defaults to XMLmind home directory I would expect it, on save, to default to the last directory used for an open or save. -- Garrett Hussein Shafie wrote: > Garrett Smith wrote: >> Is there a way to get XMLmind to remember the last directory used for >> open and save across sessions (i.e. remember even if I shutdown >> XMLmind)? > > In principle, this has always worked fine for "File|Open" and > "File|Save As". > > "File|New", "File|Open as Template", "File|Open Copy" use the current > working directory for the first "File|Save" or the first "File|Save > As" operation. > > In case your are talking about "File|Open" and "File|Save As", a > possible cause of the problem is that XMLmind XML Editor fails to > create a user preferences directory. > > Please check the existence and date of this user preferences > directory. > > XXE user preferences directory is: > > * $HOME/.xxe2 on Unix, Linux and Mac. > * C:\winnt\Profiles\<user>\xxe2 on Windows NT. > * C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\xxe2 on Windows 2000/XP. > > This directory contains: > > config/ > plugin/ > spell/ > preferences.properties
