Autoloader default folder

We are looking at using Autoloader to load inventor files to the vault. Problem is we do not use the default folder "Designs" in our Vault folder structure it is named differently (there is a good reason for this!)
So what happens is that Autoloader does not find the designs folder and creates one automatically, and files are uploaded to this folder which is exactly what we do not want.
I need to change the Autoloader settings to use the differently named folder not the designs folder......can anyone suggest a way of doing this?

Yes, ditch autoloader.  I think I also asked
this question before.  Autoloader in its current state is useless for those
who use non default folders.  The defaults do not even conform to
autodesk's recommendations.

 

It seems like you will need to do it the hard
way.

Hello There

 

There is a method to customize the names
for the default folders.


It requires a little modification of a couple of
text files - but should give you the result you
want.
