Default Save Location

Post by Jreinard »

Hi Scott,

I was wondering if there is a way like in PWB 2 to set the default save location when a user clicks "save target as..."?

Thanks,
Jesse

The following functionality is in PWB version 3, it has just not been documented.

[Directories]
SaveAsDirectory=
DownloadDirectory=

Thank you. It works for downloading files like PDFs, but it defaulted to the Pictures library when we right clicked on a picture and chose "Save Picture As" from the context menu. Can we set the default location for "Save Picture As" as well? Thanks,

It seems like IE is hard coded to save to the "My Pictures" folder when saving images. It may be possible to change this behavior in IE by changing the location of the "My Pictures" folder in Windows.
