Question

to change the path where the project files are stored

Hi there,

I have recently upgraded from robohelp8 to robohelp11.

Just wondering if it is possible in any way to change the default path where the project files get stored.

At the moment it defaultly saves at 'C:\Users\username\Documents\My RoboHelp Projects'. Is there a way we can change this default path to a common location so that any user who logs into the machine can access the files.

Cheers,

Ankitha

You are talking about when you create a new project, correct?

I just created one project and it came up with what I think was the last path used for a new project. I changed that and in two subsequent tests it went to the same drive letter followed by \NewProject.

Do be aware that whilst Rh11 allows you to work from a network location, it is one user at a time. It is not a substitute for source control.

Thanks Peter.

Just wondering how you were able to change the save path for the new projects?

And also, so you say - even though i have robohelp11 installed and running in an isolated server, it still allows only one user to access and edit project files.

Multiple user action is not possible at the same time??

Thanks for your responses.

Much appreciate..!!

Ankitha

When I created the new project I simply typed a different path in the Default Path field. That seems to stick.
