Remember last path

[nycab]

Hi guys,

i am currently evaluating ultraedit (i am coming from the mac and was using bb*dit). Is there an option to let the ftp open dialog remember the last used path where an open operation happened ?

I am opening a php file via ftp and then notice i need an addtional file and the ftp-open dialog always goes back to the initial site-path when i am connected ?!?

Thanks,

nycab

I don't think that this can currently be done. But it would be really nice. In fact, I have setup several account in UE for just one real FTP account just to cut down on the time I spend navigating the FTP dialog.

yikes

who needs all the bloat if even the _simple_ functions aren't fully thought through

btw. a simple functions dropdown (combobox) would be nice instead of the "function list" which takes far to much screenspace away

Hi Nycab

I sort of have the same issue but I found a very simple work around.
I have setup lots of "Account"s but they really point to different sub-directories on the same server. Here is a example
Main-Server_Sub-DirectoryA
Main-Server_Sub-DirectoryB
Main-Server_Sub-DirectoryC

For each "Account" I have changed the "Initial Directory" to point the directory I need. Hey it's a quick work around and it works for me.

Hope that Helps

Just a FYI I'm a old BB man myself!
The release of version 11 is not normal for IDM!
UE has been a rock solid editor and will be again, just give them some time!

I truly believe UE is a great value:
A) Because of its capabilities as a editor
B) Because of it's price
Give Ian a chance to work out the optional features (aka bugs).
I can personlly can say I've been very happy with UE!!!

hey

thanks for the tip

it really should remember the last directory (an option in the site/account preferences would be nice). Oh and btw. i want my function-list combobox with a rock-solid perl/php/java-function-parser

(psst idm guys take a serious look @ b*edit for the mac)

Using v11.00a+, I found that if I leave the "Initial Directory" entry blank, it "remembers" the previously used directory as (I believe) this information is saved in UE's .ini file.

HTH,

This was working since v10.00+ (my first ultraedit version... )

There is a way to use "favorite" directories. In the Change Dir dialog when you change to a directory (you must type it by hand) it will remember that and when you come back then you can select it from a dropdown. The only disatvantage of this that it can't be resized so if you have a long path you won't see the end of the path in the dropdown. (I will write to support too...)

I have an annoying problem with SFTP. Sometimes when I save (or when UE auto save) remote files it displays an error message that it can't save file "Error saving..." but when I click on the cancel button it saves the file after all. The really problem is that in this case it concatenates dummy characters to the end of my document. I notice this error since 10.00+

Anybody has noticed this problem ever? Is it a configuration problem?

Diakonos, thanks for this tip - it works as a crude workaround.

+1 for this as an actual feature in the product.
