Config file - Favourite Path

[TheGhost78]

I have this path in the configuration ini file, for where I save all my .bru files:

[Preferences]
Favourite Path="I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\"

Up until version 4.0.1.0, it worked when you go to File > Open... but now it opens the .\Documents\Bulk Rename Utility folder. It still doesn't work in 4.1.0.0 either.

I hadn't noticed because I've been using the 'Open' function drop-down button (above Preview) for all my commonly-used .bru saved files, instead of going to File > Open.

Looks like "Favourite Path=" should not be pointing to a path per se, but rather to the fullpath of a .bru.

Once that location+.bru are selected that .bru's path is remembered, such that File | Open remembers that particular path+.bru. And if all your other .bru happen to be within the same path, they too will be available for selection.

So either change
"I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\"
to
"I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\my.bru",
or File | Open -> "I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\my.bru" (directly).

Both actions will set the remembered path+.bru to "my.bru" within "I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\".

Subsequent File | Open will open to "I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\".


If you, down the line, point to some other .bru, outside of "I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\", then that path would be remembered - until you once again point back to a .bru within "I:\UTILITIES\Bulk Rename Utility\Actions\".

It definitely worked with just the folder path and no .bru file specified. I reinstalled v4.0.8.0 and v4.0.9.0 to check.

Hi, the entry Favourite Path in the Bulk Rename Utility.ini file is the path pointing to the last used .bru or it's empty if none was used, for example:

Favourite Path="C:\Users\Documents\Bulk Rename Utility\file.bru"

If I put in there just a folder path e.g. C:\Users\Documents\Bulk Rename Utility\ , then when BRU starts it gives me an error in the status bar saying that that profile was not found (this is in the latest version).

Do you want to start BRU in a specific folder?
