imagegod Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I don't like my export default location...is there any way to change the default? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheewz Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Isn't your export location updated with each exporting? I mean, next time you click export it'll direct you to the last saved location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagegod Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 That would be nice...unfortunately, no, it keeps defaulting to some dark alleyway on my computer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Are you exporting to one location and then saving to a different one? Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagegod Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 You know...that's a good question. Right now I'm not sure what's happening...sometimes it defaults to the 'proper' location, and sometimes it defaults to a strange place. I'll need to pay more attention to the behavior and get back to you (and the forum). Thanks until then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagegod Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ok...when I restart my computer, 'export' location defaults to a strange location on my C drive (rather than my preferred folder where everything is normally saved). Is there any way to change the save folder Affinity defaults to on a re-start? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Can you be specific about the export location - it might help identify what's going on. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why (obviously), but upon restart, 'export' location always defaults as follows C:\Windows\System32 I'd like to change that if possible...not a big deal, just thought I'd give it a try.

IanSG Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I tried creating an image in AP and the default location was C:\Windows\System32 - it's defined as the default somewhere! The problem is that having exported to a different folder I can't get back to System32 - I've reset and rebooted, but it stubbornly refuses to use any location other than the last one! I'm grasping at straws here, but you could try resetting AP (hold <ctrl> key while it starts) or running it with admin privileges (right click on the icon and select more).

imagegod Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks...I really don't want to mess with 'Admin Privileges' for a simple thing like a default save location. Definitely not a problem...I just figured there was a preference setting in Affinity that I couldn't find. Mark this as a lesson learned and perhaps a future feature request. For the moment I'll just navigate to the preferred folder. Again, not a big deal. Thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
