XControl saving dialog boxes ... with memory of last saving path ...

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 7 kudos within 7 years after posting will be automatically declined.

When you want to save a XControl, you have to save 5 items ... the savefiledialog appears 5 times ...

 

The problem is, that when you add an XControl to an autopopulating project, the savefiledialog appears 5 times,

without any memory of the last path used ! You have to browse 5 times save all elements.

 

Here some possible solutions to this problem ...

 

  1. The save file dialog should keep the last saving path in memory
  2. In autopopulating project, the saving path should be automaticaly taken from the project architecture 
  3. A special save file dialog could be build, enabling to rename and save all 5 elements in the same directory ( This solution force to save the file in the same path ... is it good ? for me i think so ! )

The problem of XControl saving appears also when you want to add a property/method to an existing XControl.

 

When you have to save the new properties/methods, the save filedialog should propose by default the path containing the already existing files.

 

This is not the actual behaviour !

 

Thanks
