Default Projects Folder

[Bruce Atkinson]

Is it possible to set the default folder where Firefly saves files?

Whenever I create a new project and go to save it, the default is:

C:\Users\bruce\AppData\Local\FireFly Visual Designer

I have a projects folder on a different drive and I always put my projects there.

I would like, by default, for the IDE to start in P:\Projects\FireFly.   I tried setting the working folder ("Start In") on the shortcut.  This works for most tools, that do not provide a way to do it, but does not work for FireFly.

I am currently doing it by using a Junction, but if there is a mechanism using a registry entry or INI statement then I would prefer to use that.

Here is what I am using as a workaround.  I copied the FireFly.ini in my P:\Projects\FireFly folder.  Deleted the "FireFly Visual Designer" folder and then used this comand:

mklink /J "C:\Users\bruce\AppData\Local\FireFly Visual Designer" "P:\Projects\FireFly"

Thanks, Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Sorry - I don't think there is a way in FireFly 2 to set the default projects folder. I can say, however, that there is such a setting in FireFly 3, and luckily FireFly 3 is just around the corner from being released.

Thanks,  I look forward to the upgrade.
