I have two minor suggestions (and sorry if they have been suggested before):

1. I would like the caption on that button to change to show the path/directory selected when it is selected.

2. I would like APP to remember  my selection from last time (and show that on the button).

Best regard
Helge

Hi Helge,

Thank you for sharing this.

1) a path of a working directory can be very long, probably I can just show the last part of the path, so it fits into the button and that would still be clear to the user, right?

2) yes, is proposed and in my priorities list

Thanks,

Mabula

Hi Mabula

I agree to your statement regarding 1. The full path is probably not required. It could be something like F://....../images/M33 or whatever. 

Best regards
Helge

Hi Helge,

Your first suggestion will be part of the next release, that will soon be released:

App SetWorkDirOnButton

Remembering the work dir so APP starts with the old directory of the previous session, will probably be part of the release after the upcoming one.

Kind regards,

Mabula

Hi Mabula,

Was any other decision made on APP remembering the last selected work directory? My personal opinion is that it will make things easier if APP present the last selected/used work directory instead of "Documents"

Hello

I requested this same functionally a while back, but there was no reply.

I tried with 1.074.1 and APP still always defaults to "Documents" instead of the real (Saved) working directory.

Can this please be fixed?

Thank you

Adrien Richardson

Hello

Will this ever be fixed? There does not seem to be any updates happening with APP.

Please advise.

Thank you

Updates on big features are in the works, it's been a few months since the latest release but that's hardly a long time I think. I'll ask Mabula about the work directory save feature and why it's not there yet.
