Question: Backup Files at different Folders!

Postby charly2008 » Wed Aug 08, 2012 2:47 pm

Hi,

for some time I find the backup Skb files in the Plugins folder and in my Kerkythea project folder . I do not know why. Is there a way to select a specific folder for the Skb-files? I appreciate any helpful hints.

Hmmmmm...it should be saving the skb file wherever you save the skp file.
You might try checking the preferences, and check the path name for saved models.

Hi Daniel,

thank you for your answer. The paths in the preferences I had checked first.

If you are working over a [slow] network or perhaps on a memory-stick etc the time-out in the saves can dump a SKB in an alternative location - like ../Plugins/...
When a SKB is made there's some file shuffling with the names and file-types so a temp name is used.
Hence the odd names like '2.skb'...
