Hi Brenda Hofman

You can't change the location of an existing via its project settings. You can, however, drag the whole project folder or 'cut & paste' it using Windows Explorer to the location where you want it. You can only do that if you have Studio and any other files in the project closed. That will only change the location of that actual project but when you open it again, you'll see the address has changed in that project's settings.

You can change the folder that Studio saves projects to any time when you create a new project, at this step in the Project Wizard:

Studio always creates the new project in the folder where the previous project was created.

Hope this is enough info to help!

All the best,

Ali

Thanks. I made an empty project and changed the settings there. After that my files go back to the original location again. Very strange though.

Hi Brenda

Has the problem been solved? If not, I may have misunderstood your first question.

Changing the settings in an empty project won't work unless you click 'Browse' on the first page of the project creation wizard when you are setting up the project, adding incoming files and other components to it and then complete the project creation wizard.

The program retains the previous address to which you performed any significant operation ready for the next time. All you have to do is click on 'Browse' to find the play you want to save to or open from, for example.

Your files therefore go where you put them or take them from. It took me a while to suss this out but once you understand it you'll have complete control over where your files are.

I hope I haven't now confused the issue

Are you perhaps normally working just via 'Translate Single Document'? 

All the best,

Ali

Yes! That's exactly what I've done, so I've created a 'fake' project and changed the settings there. (So empty wasn't the right word here:) I had to do that, because a lot of my projects come in a package and they load automatically. Made the project, changed the output location, finished the wizzard (including a file to translate) and left that until I imported my next package. Now my output files go back to the projects folder. Thanks for your help!!!
