Not a bug but quite annoying...

Hi, anyone know of a way of setting X1 to open/save files to the 'last used'?

Every time I start X1 it defaults to 'My Documents' but as I save my Xara files in their own folder and sub folders, it can be a royal pain when it reverts back to MyDocs on starting the program.

Go to Options | General and tick Save Settings on Exit.

hi PsychoPaint,

Welcome to Talkgraphics. Here is a pretty picture to go along with allisons quickie answer.

I never realized that was what that was for (smack upside the head!)

All Windows programs default to My Documents.

However with Xara, if you save a file to a folder, this should remain the folder Xara saves to until you tell it different.

If you save a file to a folder, and then delete the file or the folder, then Xara will revert to the dreaded My Documents folder.

Thanks a million folks, works great. As I keep all my Xara files on a second drive, it was a pain shuffling around drives and folders to open and save files.

Well, that's one description. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif My adjective is usually chosen from among "nasty", "detestable", "horrid", "#@&%" and "&*@#!". http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Actually, I like it... you can move it to where you want it too. I put mine on my D: drive, which is where I keep all my data files. On my main C: drive I just have programs and bin data, like sound files, icons, etc.
I have Win XP home SP1
