How do I change the default path??

[JessiRight]

Hello. How do I change the default path under "Scan Dimensions" where SilverFast saves the scans? It always defaults back to my user "Pictures" file, and I have to change it every time.

Thanks!

Dear customer,

Are you using SilverFast Ai Studio?
In Ai Studio you can save a frame setting and then select it in the preferences' general tab as the default for all new frames.

Kind regards,

Arne,

with all due respect (and thanks for great software), I must point out that some of us (almost) NEVER use the default nonsense Windows try to impose on us. For example, my scans all go to a separate drive under Scans. Being able to set a global default path would save a few clicks and keystrokes every time I scan, possibly hundreds per session. This said, the solution of having a global frame setting is not bad, probably better for many.

Dear Gena,


The solution I describe does set the selected path as the general path.

Kind regards,

In that case please forgive my ignorance/misunderstanding - and thank you.

Further to this: In HDR Studio, under Edit/Preferences/General there is no default path/frame to set apart from temporary files. Of course, I eventually guessed that "Default setting" is the one and that "Factory default" is where I should change it. This, however, changes the lot, not only the default path.
Suggestions: allow users to save the frame settings as it is now (but call it that, FRAME default setting) as well as just the default path for all future frames.

I love Silverfast, but ... not now, no time, I will write a longish general comment about documentation and not only about SF.

Dear customer,

You first need to make your desired settings for the current frame.
Then you need to save that in the Frame menu -> Settings -> Save Frame Settings.
Now you can select the saved frame settings in the preferences' general tab under Default-Settings.

Kind regards,
