This is exactly what leads to the multiple-version nightmare I posted about last week (see thread "Save As headaches". I agree with Barrie and think the core problem is the Save Path. I'd like to see WinBMD, when first run, ask the user to choose or create a folder in which to store their work, perhaps offering to create a subfolder of My Documents by default. -- Nowl
How about making the default installation folder C:\WinBMD instead of the standard C:\Program Files\WinBMD which should stop Windows Vista from changing the Save location. cheers Bob Phillips ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nowl" <owl.news@zen.co.uk> To: <FreeBMD-Syndicates@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 1:43 PM Subject: Re: Wish list for WinBMD > Christopher Richards wrote on Tue, 27 Jan 2009: > >>I'm wondering if there is a simpler solution.
