Temp folder default is a weird location

Post by alan_sh »

I created a new WBS file to test out card containers. When I went to preview, it did nothing. So, a little digging and the temp folder assigned to it was

G:\Hamme\Books\Site\Temp

Now, I don't have a G: drive. I've never had a G: drive. So, do you have any idea where this has come from?

I'm running the latest version of WWB - 17.0.2.

thanks

Maybe you have opened a project from another use which has this as the default preview folder?
You can set the preview folder in Tools -> Options -> Files & Folders

Thanks Pablo. It was probbaly from one of the other projects from this web site that I was testing.

I have set it now. One question. Is that setting saved globally or on a per-project basis?

It is saved per project.

So, if it's a new project, where does it get the value from?

The default value for new projects is the last saved value.

Does that apply to all options under Tools > Options?

It applies to some, but not all options.
For example, UI, guides, extensions, backup options are global. These settings are the same for all projects.
