Remember last hard drive directory

TheCyberDruid · 15 June 2010, 21:24

Hi there

Just noticed that the 'Select Directory' button on the 'Add Directory or Archive...' dialog always starts from 'scratch' (at least on XP that is, as I haven't checked with Vista yet). Could the last directory be saved and used for the next time?

This would actually get on my nerves if I did not want it to remember. I suppose adding a button remember last directory would be ok.

Cheers

I suppose you don't have your Amiga HD dirs scattered all over the place? Can't see why you would want to start from root each time again.

Hey

No mine are all in one folder, I just make a config per drive/folder, then add w/e I need each time. I do think it would annoy other people if it auto remembered unless a button was added to enable/disable this feature.

I'd prefer it to remember the last dir.

+1 for remembering the last place/dir you were at

Well, it's the default behaviour for almost any other file/dir select dialog in WinUAE, but anyway let's wait for Toni.

Directory selection dialog should remember previous directory but it is not yet implemented (forgot).

Your reason does not make any sense.

No you are right it makes no sense. I misunderstood. Apologies all around with free jam tarts.
