Location of Revit Journal Files.

I consider it practical the option to save automatically files of Revit sessions (Journal Files) in a different folder from the main file.

what your image is showing are NOT journal files. Those are Revit backup files. There is not a way from inside of Revit to direct these to a different folder. You could write a batch file to execute on a regular basis and "clean" these files out of your working folder.

Thanks for the clarification, Jeff.

Really what I meant is the location of backup files.
