Title: Changing the default Open and SaveAs directories

Date: March 12, 1995


Problem:

User wants to open and save the images in a user defined default directory, not the $PIXELFXDIR/images directory.

Cause:

Pixel!FX saves files to a pre-set default directory.

Solution:

In the user resource file : $PIXELFXDIR/Pfx the following modifications can be made in the Modifiable initial settings resources area:

Uncomment (take out the !) in the following lines NOTE: The directory must already exist. You can change this directory to a directory of your choice, e.g. '/usr/images/'

Pfx*openFileSelection.dirMask : /usr/images/

Pfx*saveAsFileSelection.dirMask : /usr/images/

Save the file.
