Save File Path

crutledge · 04-13-2013, 09:00 AM

When a new file is loaded to Calibre and SAVE TO DISK is selected the Path displayed is always to the previous file processed rather than the present file.

Displayed? Where?

Windows Save/Move Dialogs open on the last (if still existing) path used, ANYWHERE in Windows.

As the path to save the presently loaded file!!!

That is the standard Windows Hint method.
Calibre has no way to know, in advance, where you might want to put a STD file.

It is your job to set the path, Windows just gives a last used starting point (which usually work for most people doing repeated saves).

If I send to photoshop, the path to the loaded file is present for save.
If I send to epp the path to the loaded file is present for save.
If I send to Acrobat, the path to the loaded file is present for save.
If I send to Elements, the path to the loaded file is present for save.
etc. etc.

Seems to be the standard.

Ah! But in those cases, you are usually saving an variation of the original in the originals location.

Calibres STD is for EXPORTING to any place EXCEPT the original location.

I prefer the current behavior for Exports.

Remember when many Windows programs defaulted to the Programs folder

for saving personal documents?
