Customize default folder

[hayleyabishop]

Hi! Love the tool. I need to be able to change the default directory from C:\ to some default screenshots folder. Please let me know if I can help.

Thanks!

PS: Screenshot has all identifying folder names removed.

@hayleyabishop The author hasn't made a commit to this repo for 4 years. In fact, I can't find any activity from him anywhere (Issues, Pull Requests, commits on branches other than main, etc) in this repo since the end of 2020. I don't think your issue is going to get addressed.

It looks simple to fix though, it looks like it's here:

PasteIntoFile/PasteIntoFile/frmMain.cs

Line 36 in bb2021c

txtCurrentLocation.Text = CurrentLocation ?? @"C:\";

frmMain.cs, line 36. If you clone the repo, change that line to point where you want, and compile, that should do it.

@christopher-conley Awesomely thoughtful and helpful reply! It's a shame this Git/App isn't maintained anymore; although honestly, it is pretty feature complete and reliable in its current state, not sure what else there is to do. I haven't looked at the other issues though, so maybe there is work to be done.

It is quite a popular application... performing a web search for "Paste into File" brings up tons of references/downloads and examples of how to install and use it...

I really hope the original creator/developer is doing all right. I love this little gem of an app.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Eslam, Thank you for sharing with us, I'm so glad to hear you are doing well and working hard. Thanks so much for your kind words as well. I love Paste Into File (of PIF as I say 😉), it really helps keep my workflow...flowing! I use it just about every day! Not a complaint or nitpick, more of an FYI: Sometimes, oddly though, PIF does seem to stall at runtime. For example, when you select PIF from the context menu, the modal window doesn't show up sometimes for 15-25 seconds. It typically stalls like that on the first run, but not always. Subsequent runs are usually timely, about 5 seconds or less, but once in a while, even those can be in the 20-30 second range before the window appears. If you need any logs or other info, I'm happy to provide anything you like. It could also just be my system, it's having problems at the moment, but PIF has kind of always done that on my system, even before my "issues". Definitely no rush on that, just wanted to give you a heads up. I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2024 holiday season! 🎄+❄+🤶+🎅 = 😁 From: Eslam Hamouda ***@***.***> Sent: Wednesday, December 4, 2024 12:12 AM To: EslaMx7/PasteIntoFile ***@***.***> Cc: Spikeypup ***@***.***>; Mention ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [EslaMx7/PasteIntoFile] Customize default folder (Issue #56) Hi everyone, Thank you for your continued interest and support for "Paste into File."
