Re: How do i change folder where i save to
It isn't. Just put in an absolute path in any of the directories, eg D:\whatever\downloadsNicklewis wrote: Looking in the config tab it would appear that its locked to my c drive.

Re: How do i change folder where i save to
The relative path is determined by your user profile.
If you want another path, you'll need to enter the full path.

Re: How do i change folder where i save to
That isn't an option, that's just a label stating where the default directories are stored. You can set any of the actual directory settings (eg: "Temporary Download Folder", "Completed Download Folder") to an absolute path (eg: "D:\Downloads") and it will work perfectly fine.Nicklewis wrote: Thanks for your reply, i really apprecaite itI dont know if im missing something obvious, but it would appear the option to change is locked.

Re: How do i change folder where i save to
Thanks inpheaux/shypike had mentioned, i had just read through the pages shypick pointed to and had concluded the same.
I was hpoing it was possible to reset the directory settings, but just cant work out how. I have looked on config folders but there doesnt seem to be an option to change there. Any chance of being more expicit to how i can reset to an absoulte path.
A friend who recomended sab suggested doing a reinstall from the drive i want to use, just waiting for drive to clear data so can reformat it first.
Thanks for the suggestions

Just set an absolute path for all the directories you want to move to another directory.Nicklewis wrote: Thanks inpheaux/shypike had mentioned, i had just read through the pages shypick pointed to and had concluded the same.

I promise it isn't hard.
If you want your download dir on a different drive, set it to D:\whatever\downloads
If you want your incomplete dir on a different drive, set it to D:\whatever\incomplete
If you want your watch dir on a different drive, set it to D:\whatever\blackhole
You don't reset the "base" directory, you just explicitly set the full path for all other directories.
Re: How do i change folder where i save to
Ok thanks , I am not getting this i know to reset the absoulout pathto my new drive. I just cant figure out how to, ie in config of the program or some other way. There is nothing that is obvious to me. Sure others must have same prob. Ive set it up on another system so I am sorted in the short term, but if you could point me to the location of where i should set an absoloute path, then i can put this to bed.
Re: How do i change folder where i save to
In config>folders, under Completed Download Folder enter D:\Downloads
