Re: [IRCA] Saved Perseus Files

[Brett Saylor <bsaylor@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just looked through the Perseus manual and all the program's
configuration settings, and there's no mention of any way to specify the
default directory - my experience is as Chuck mentions, it always defaults
to the last directory used.

I perused the system registry to see where Perseus stores the last used
location (since that's where Perseus says it stores all its settings) but I
cannot find an entry anywhere for it. It's not in the tree
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microtelecom s.r.l./perseus with all the other
program settings. This begs the question of exactly where does the program
store that information between runs? There is a log file named perseuslf
that appears to get created in the same directory as perseus.exe when
starting the program, but that doesn't contain any file location
information.

If you could find out where the program stores this information, you might
be able to manually change it,
