Default save directorybluedogranch - July 25, 2007 - 3:05pm
Is it possible to have a checkable option to set the default save location of a new document to the drive where AbiWord is located rather than the hard drive of the host PC? Seems strange and unintuitive that when you're running a portable application the default save for AbiWord is to the hard drive of the host PC that you're trying to keep your files away from in the first place. Ideas? ( categories: )

AbiWord provides no setting to be able to default this. OpenOffice.org Portable does and will automatically set the documents path to X:\Documents if it exists.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
You can modify the
You can modify the AbiWord.Profile file in Data\settings to set a default save directory. In the <Scheme name="_custom_" section of the profile, add the following line:
DefaultSaveDirectory="my\path\" (note: you can use relative or absolute paths).
I don't know if this can be handled automatically by the launcher, but you can definitely do it on your own

Yea.
I think John could add that in the next release, it's fairly easy as I've learned.
