PATH being ignored in .bru files

Postby Daver » Mon Nov 11, 2024 12:39 am

Until 4.0.0.2, when I opened a .bru file, it would use the PATH therein. Now it uses the most recent path instead. Please revert this behavior or provide a setting to override.

Path is stored in the BRU file, but beginning with 4.0.0.2, it is ignored.

Thanks, do you have the option Main Menu -> File -> Favourites -> Store Pathname enabled?
I believe that will be needed to load and save the path in the BRU file.

Main Menu -> File -> Favourites -> Store Pathname


Seems that applies to both the saving of a .bru
& also the opening of the a .bru
- even if an existing .bru does have a PATH= included.


So if you have an existing "save-path.bru"
with a PATH="C\MY DOCUMENTS"
& you then load it:

if, File -> Favourites -> Store Pathname, enabled
then C:\MY DOCUMENTS loads

if, File -> Favourites -> Store Pathname, disabled
then C:\MY DOCUMENTS does not load (unless it happened to be the last path)
