Video Wave creates My Documents default folders despite override

[cove3a]

Video Wave will create folders for My Videos, My Music and My Photos in My Documents despite being told in Tools/Options settings to direct outputs to other folders with different names on my D or E drive.

 

Despite deleting these folders, every time Video Wave opens it creates these folders, although nothing ever goes into them due to specifying other folders.

 

It seems like this is a bug.

Are you sure Videowave is creating them? Those are Windows XP system folders and even have their own special icons. I would think that Windows is just trying to 'repair' itself.

You have to be doing something wrong. Make a folder with a name you want, and at the location on your hard drive that you want to save your productions to. After you click the Save As button in VideoWave, browse to the folder you want to save it in, and make sure that you click on that folder. Then click the Save button.

I do that and I am able to save the rendered file to the folder I created. But Video wave every time it opens creates My Videos, My Music and My Photos folders in My Documents which is a link to C:User\My Documents where actual files are stored by default. It's not being done by Windows because EMC9 home doesn't create them when I open it; only when I open Video Wave.

 

No matter if I delete the folders in My Documents, the next time I open Video Wave it re-creates the 3 folders. It's inconvenient in that other programs that I use that would normally go to my specified folder will go first to My Documents\My Pictures if the program senses the My Pictures folder exists. I then have to manually click to redirect files to be saved to my specified folder. It's inconvenient but I can live with it.

It just seems the Video Wave should have in Tools\Options a way to specify where rendered files are to be saved by default. It does have one for specifying Music, but changing it doesn't help as it reverts back to My Documents\My Music

 

If it is Windows doing it, which I don't think it is, I have a tip somewhere of how to get Windows to point My Pictures to somewhere other than C:Username\My Documents default.
