Setting for path to data shortcuts......

[doni49]

We store our projects in the following folder structure.  But C3D seems to expect to find all data shortcuts in one folder.  Every time I switch from one project to another, C3D forgets where to find the shortcuts and I have to use the "Set Working Folder" option.

P:\{ProjectNumber}\Drawings\

I envision a place to tell C3D that under a chosen project, look for "04-Drawings\_Shortcuts".  And that Working folder will ALWAYS be P:\  Then I'd just pick the appropriate project number from the list and C3D would find the shortcuts.  Older projects had a slightly different path (instead of P:\{ProjectNumber}\04-Drawings\_Shortcuts\, it was P:\{ProjectNumber}\06-Drawings\_Shortcuts\.  Maybe this could be set to allow multiple paths?

I just tried it again in C3D 2024 and if I set the working folder to "P:\", it assumes I want the first project that it finds with a _Shortcuts folder.

But if I set working folder to a path, then use the "New Data Shortcuts Folder" option, it does create a new project under that folder.  So I'm not sure how you're expecting this to work.

To me, I would set working folder to the root of all the projects and then link my file to a project.  Once the file is linked to a project, it should REMEMBER that link between sessions.
