Question

File navigation defaults to C: drive, can't change drives

Opened this issue 5 years ago · 4 comments

I have KevEdit installed to my K: drive, but despite that, when I try to load a file, it defaults to somewhere in the Documents tree on the C: drive. No matter where I navigate to, there doesn't be an option to access any drive besides C: from KevEdit.

Hey you're right. I'm not sure if this is a regression or if we never supported changing drives.

Me either, I've only used the most recent version.

Strange. I booted up Kevedit this evening and it actually started up in the drive and directory it was installed in. I'm not sure what caused this change.

Still can't change drives, though. I dunno if that functionality matters or not, but.

Hey, I know it's been several months since I commented on this issue, BUT I figured out why this was happening. It's because I was launching KevEdit from the Start menu shortcut in Win10. The Shortcut was set to start in my Documents folder in the C: drive for some reason; when I pointed the shortcut's "Start in" path to my KevEdit folder on my ZZT drive, it started where I intended it to. Mystery solved, I guess?
