what you're actually asking for is an ESP link: the computer should just know where you want to save, eh?

The deafult Save As folder should be the folder where the open file resides. Not the previously used one, that is always a LBK folder of another project. This behaviour is especially dangerous if you discern the files just by folders, meaning the LBK name is the same (as we often have to, due to file name limit)

ArchiCAD used to remember where each TYPE of file was last opened/saved. This way images could default to one location, movies to another, PLN files to the project folder, and library parts to the last library used. This was about as close to ESP as I've ever experienced from a computer.~/archiben wrote:I beg to disagree, Ben.Mark wrote:it's not really something to be fixed though is it? you get the benefits one way but not the other: i've often found myself opening from one place and saving to another where this behaviour is great!

As I recall this never worked in Windows, and it ceased working on the Mac in OSX, so it may just be an OS thing and we're stuck with what we've got. At least Publishing takes care of much that this was most useful for.
I would very much like to see an increase of the number of recent project files in the initial screen and the File > Open Recent menu command. I often don't have the file I was working on two days ago in the puny list of five items.
Djordje wrote:I am all for different commands to remember different locations, for example the "import" command remembers a different folder location to the open "command". However as Djordje rightly pointed out the "open" command should have the same history as the "save as" command. I could not tell you how many times i have accidently saved the wrong file in the wrong project as they use the same folder structure.~/archiben wrote:Mark wrote:it's not really something to be fixed though is it? you get the benefits one way but not the other: i've often found myself opening from one place and saving to another where this behaviour is great!

ESP would be a great feature though!
Still looking?
