Unset working folder

Post by Thomas Linder Puls » Thu Sep 23, 2004 4:46 pm

I cannot unset a working folder. The help description says:
To Unset a working folder, select the folder and click on Set Working Folder. In the Add new folder box, delete the folder name. Click OK to unset the working folder.
There are two problems with thise description:
  • The dialog that opens is a "Browse for folder" dialog (rather than an "Add new folder"). The name is of course not so important.
  • When I delete the folder name, the OK button is disabled

Do a search for "unset working folder" in this forum, and you'll find three threads talking about this.

Thomas,

We've fixed that bug (which only showed up in Windows 2003 server) in the upcoming 2.1 release. In previous versions of Vault, we counted on the system browse for folder dialog being the same across Windows platforms. It's not. We've replaced the Set Working folder dialog with our own dialog.

I've attached a screenshot of what the dialog will look like in 2.1.

Short answer: Select the Recycling Bin, or some other non-sensical folder and press OK. As they said, this is a stopgap 'till 2.1 comes out.

Well, I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2.

The dialog seems like a good idea, the for-the-whole-sub-directory option is a good idea.

The Recycle Bin trick worked, thanks.
