SAVEFILEPATH & MOVEBAK v17

Robt Deans

When setting both to point to a desired directory, the SV$ & bak files are still saved in the default C:\users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Bricscad\
Is there a workaround?

did you use the expresstools for the V17?
Because in the V16 there was a timing bug while fireing the Reactors. But in the v17 its working fine.

have you set an path where to store the '*.bak files? (using the command 'movebak')
If you save an opened and changed file there will be the command echo '(MOVEBACK_DOit_now)T' at the commandline prompted. Did you regoniced this?

Yes, a path has been saved using MOVEBAK.
No, there is no command echo MOVEBACK_DOit_now on the command line.

please replace the old file with this new one in the Expresstools Folder. Did you realy downloaded the Expresstools for the v17? I Did'nt got any Problem, while trying this out.

Hi Martin
Yes, absolutely running the v17 Expresstools.
Replacing the .des file with the latest yields "Cannot load ACETUTIL.des" upon BCad launch.

:hmm it seems there was going something wrong, while comiling the file.
please try this new attached one.

Acetutil.des

Excellent.
It appears now to work as advertised.
I appreciate your tenacity.
(Now if I can only figure out the SV$ save file path)

Cheers
