[Dx4win] DX4WIN Digest, Vol 129, Issue 6

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

Hello Isidro -

Try saving your log in a "My Documents" folder.  I have been doing this for years, and it works very well because the log gets saved to my backup along with all of the other documents.  It worked fine in WinXP and works with Win7; it should work with Win8 as well.  GL.

Hello all.

A friend of mine, also a DX4WIN v8.05 user, has just installed it in his new
laptop with Windows 8.1.  As suggested by instal program, he installed it in
c:\dx4win805.  Now, each time he tries to save the log file (either typing
Alt-S or going to File > Save), he gets this message:

An exception occurred!
Unable to create directory
[ok]

But the file is saved correctly.

My friend re-installed the program in c:\program files\dx4win805.  Now, no
error message appears, but, he noted that the log file is no longer stored
in the save folder, but in:

c:\users\{username}\appdata\local\virtualstore\program files\dx4win805\save

Question:  Is there a way to disable the above error messages when
installing DX4WIN in root directory, or to save the data files in the
DX4WIN's own save folder, not in "c:\users\{username}\local..."?
