Default folders

DAVIDE CARBONE

Hi there

I would like to know if there is a way to change the default folders which Studio 2019 uses to interact with Windows, for instance the default folder where Studio asks me to load a package from (when I want to import packages), the default folder which Studio suggests for saving a Return Package into, etc.

Thank you

Davide

    Hello Steven.
    I know that Studio remembers the last folder used for an operation and will use that as default the next time. I was wondering if there is a way to set a default folder which is always the same, instead of remembering the last one used every time.

    Let’s make a short example.
    Let’s say that in C: I have created a directory C:\Work, in which I have a directory for each of my clients: C:\Work\Client_A; C:\Work\Client_B; C:\Work\Client_C etc.
    In C:\Work\Client_A I have a directory for every project with this client: C:\Work\Client_A\Project_1; C:\Work\Client_A\Project_2 etc.

    I want to tell Studio 2019: When I want to import a package, open always directory "C:\Work", so that I can navigate from there to the right client and the right project; or, in case I use Studio mainly with Client A, open always directory "C:\Work\Client_A" and I will then navigate each time to the appropriate project’s subfolder.
    The same with return packages. I would like to set Studio in order that every time I want to create a return package from a project, it will open automatically, for instance, the directory "C:\Work" and I will navigate to the most appropriate position where to save my return package.

    Do you think there is a way to do this?

    Thank you
    Kind regards

    Hello  

    can you set the location in your project templates?  For example I set this in my default:

    Trados Studio Project Template Settings window showing 'Default' template with project location path set to C:UserspflikinDocumentsStudio 2019Projects.

    And then I use this option when opening packages:

    Trados Studio project creation window with 'Use default Studio project location' option checked and project folder path displayed.

    Then my projects are always created where I want.  In fact if you create Project templates for each client this would not only allow you to set the correct path for each one but also save time with adding client appropriate resources as they could be already available in the templates.
