Datheader downloading files to prog folder

[Willy Tschager]

Mike,

when Datheader downloads the category.txt, ldconfig.ldr, primitivescale.txt files it will download them to prog folder and obviously they end up under:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

could you please look into it.

Thx, w.

Those files are downloaded to the folder that is specified in the options:
Path for lists

So it is up to you where they end

[Willy Tschager]

Upps! Never noticed. What is the "Path for Download"?

[Philippe Hurbain]

It's the path to store LDraw files you download directly from Tracker using DatHeader (Files -> Open from PT)

[Magnus Forsberg]

You'll find it under Option -> Preferences.
In the middle of the window you're able to set:
Path for Download
Path for Lists
Ldraw Base Path

I just looked also in the documentation it is still valid for that items.

[Willy Tschager]

What is the default location set by the program itself - in case it sets?

w.

[Michael Heidemann]

Yes, the application sets the values: Here is the code:

Code:

''' <summary>
    ''' This is the folder where the downloaded part files will be stored.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Public gstrTempFolder As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Temp, "DATHeader")

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This is the folder where the downloaded part files will be stored.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks>NOT YET USED</remarks>
    Public gstrWorkingFolder As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.AllUsersApplicationData

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This is the folder where the app needed files are stored.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Public gstrListsFolder As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath
