How to change Irfanview's default "Save" folder?
How can I set the default folder that Irfanview opens when I ask it to
open or save a file? I'm using an old version of Irfanview (4.10.1998) and somehow I managed to get it stuck so that when I ask it to either save a file or open a file, it always opens a folder where I once saved a JPG file many years ago. This folder is off in some arcane branch of my directory tree so every time I have to manually click my way up the tree out of the that branch to the root directory, and then click my way back down another branch to the folder where I now keep my pictures. |

I think it always saves to the last folder you saved to -- NOT the
origin folder. Phil Clueless in Seattle wrote: How can I set the default folder that Irfanview opens when I ask it to open or save a file?

"Save" and "Save as...." both keep seperate memory of the last used
directory saved to. I can't say that a 6-year-old version behaves that way, though. Do yourself a huge favor and download the current version *and* plug-ins. Not only are there many more filetypes that can be opened, you can also use many PS filter plug-ins now. '98 is so old, you may not even have lossless jpg operations like rotation. Install with close attention, as there may be some new features you don't wish to install. You will have a choice of deselecting some of them during the installation.
