default location for output file

#1 Post by dbiando » 23.02.2020, 21:32

I posted this question several years ago and got one answer that was not helpful, so I thought I would post again. Hopefully someone can help. I am looking for a way to change the default location of the output file when making a file list. As it stands now I have to manually change the target directory for the output file each time I make a list. The default is to create the output file in the same folder as the indexed files. However, I keep the lists on a drive different from the drive with the folders that has been indexed, and I make file lists of numerous folders. So manually changing the target each time I make a list is tedious. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think it's not possible now, so I moved this topic to Feature Requests forum.

Perhaps something like in Rename dialog, drop down menu with last used paths could be added - or the Profiles tab as in Multi rename, with options to add custom paths, first path could be current path.

Workaround - you can create tab with the path you want to use, then click the copy path button in address bar - and paste in the "Make folder list" dialog.

In the next release 814 will be possible to define the default folder for the output file in the FreeCommander.prtf.ini file.
You can then define default folder for each profile.
Example:

Code: Select all

[9AB1365B-6032-468A-95BB-4543FFA4B23A]
Name=Default_Profile (TAB getrennte Felder)
TargetFolderForOutput=c:\temp
The defined folder must exists.
The value of TargetFolderForOutput will be used as default value in dialog.
