Bug in default save location

HarryT · 08-24-2009, 03:35 AM

Hi Kovid,

I've tried to raise a ticket for this, but for some reason your site won't let me log in today, and when I try to create a new account, that fails too.

There seems to be a minor bug with the "Save EPUB to disk" option in Calibre, in that it's stripping the final directory of the save path from what it offers you as the default location the next time you save a file.

Eg, if I save a file to disk and select the path:

C:\Books\ePub

then when I next save a file, it will have "C:\Books" selected as the default location, but it's not "remembering" the final directory name "ePub". Whatever folder I choose to save in, I get taken one level "higher up" the directory tree when I next do a save.

Could this be fixed?

Thanks!

Works as expected on linux, what OS are you on?

Windows.

OK I'll have a look the next time I run my windows VM. Incidentally, can you still not log in to the calibre site?

I've just tried. Works fine now. Would you like me to create a ticket?

No, it should already be fixed.
