Default Directories...

English Feature Requests

One thing I’m noticing is the directory when I either load Cart Set, Playlists, Desktops etc all seem to be linked to the dialog. I had saved a Cart Set and I had to search high and low for where I had put it. Similar issue, I had added an Icon to a JIngle and when I wanted to load a dekstop, the dialog was still in the icon folder.

Wondering, as a feature request for later whether “default” locations could be set up in configuration for such items as Desktops, Cart Sets, Playlists etc?

Thanks

You’re right, that’s Windows, remembering the folder you loaded the last file from, but only on application level.

The functionality you request is available through a configuration file named “defaultdirectories.ini” which you have to create in mAirList’s config folder, and which should look like this:

[DefaultDirectories]
AddDirectoryBrowser=
AddPlaylistBrowser=
CartwallLoad=
CartwallSave=
InsertFiles=
OpenDesktop=
OpenPlaylist=
RunScript=
SaveDesktop=
SavePlaylist=
SchedulerLoadList=
SchedulerSaveList=
SelectIcon=

Just enter the desired folder in each line, or leave it blank to disable a default directory for that dialog.

Excellent. Thanks for the information.

If any of those INI lines seem cryptic or unfathomable (hopefully not!), feel free to ask us for explanations.

Thanks, at first glance they all seem to make sense. :slight_smile: Famous last words.
