| | Posted: | | | | I do frequent XML exports of my DVD Profiler database so that I can then import the data into Microsoft Access, run custom reports there, and export the data to my Palm T|X PDA in MobileDB format.
I have noticed that the default directory when I hit "File, Export" is NOT always the same, so I have to navigate almost every time to the proper directory where I want the XML file to be created.
Shouldn't DVD Profiler remember the last directory used?
I do have an ExportDir entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler\XMLExport. The key does contain the "correct" value, but the default in the export dialog is wrong.
Any clue?
P.S. I have taken screenshots of this but dunno how to transmit them to whomever might be interested... |

| | Posted: | | | | Mmh. Don't have that problem. My profiler does remember where I had set it to the last time.

| | Posted: | | | | Same here. It used to remember but now it preselects one which is just 4 directories away from the one I want.. so instead of E:\Homepage_Sites\SF-Brain\phpdvdprofiler it always selects E:\Homepage_Sites\SF-Brain\bookstore  | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Instead of D:\Apps it often selects D:\Recycled It wants to put my export directly into the recycle bin  It is always the same incorrect path pre-selected if not the correct one is selected. In the registry the correct path had been saved. | | |

In the posting window you can then enter the link by clicking on the icon second from the right (the one with the mountains) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I've reported that issue before. I find that it's best to use a script to export your XML. It's faster to start exporting too.
Create a copy of the DVDP shortcut and alter it to add the following: /CloseExisting /CommandFile=C:\DVDP_Export.txt
Script File
OpenDatabase Default
ExportXMLAll C:\Collection.xml

Close thanks, I'll try this. I haven't really got into using any of these command files - but I'm sure they would save me time.. | | | | Paul |
