Hi,
Can client users set the default save path for opjs indpendently of the path of the opened network opj ie open template opj from network and then not have to browse each time to user folder when saving (as).
Cheers,
Pete

Hi Easwar,
Yes. The problem was exactly as you described thanks. Odd it hasn't been picked up before...
The 'fix' works fine and changing on the server file.ogs updates all clients.
We'll get all users to change both default open and save paths.
I might think about modifying the file.ogs further to avoid users saving network opjs to the client folder by the same name. This could prevent them using updated network versions.
Thanks.
Cheers,
pete

Hi Pete,
To make sure we are on the same page, I presume you are setting the Save path to be different from the Open path for OPJs in the Tools->Options dialog under File tab...but when an OPJ is opened, (modified), and then user does Save As, the dialog points to the path from where it was opened, rather than the path that you specified in Tools->Options.
Is the above correct? If yes, it is not specific to Client installation, but a general "problem".
Here is what happens: The Tools->Options setting does get saved, but the code that controls saving of OPJ in File.ogs is discarding this setting and it goes with the path from which the file was opened.
To "fix" this so that the Save As dialog will follow your Tools-?Options settings, just edit the File.OGS file and in the section
[SaveProjectAs], just comment out the following two lines:
// if(%X!="")
// FDLOG.path$=%X;
Hope this helps.

P.S There seems to be no good reason to have those two lines in there in the first place. Default setting in Tools->Options is for Save path to follow Open path and so that is a good default. So we will comment out these lines in the next version and so setting save path using dialog will work
Good catch, Pete!
