Although I set VisiMap’s Local Data Directory to a different location, VisiMap insists on suggesting the Data directory when I save a map for the first time. Is this a bug?
No. VisiMap’s Local Data Directory is the location where VisiMap keeps map templates and configuration data. While you can change it (via the Tools|File Locations command), it does not control the location where new maps you create are stored. When you ask VisiMap to save a newly-created map for the first time, VisiMap opens the Save As dialog in the currently logged directory for your computer. If you want to set the current directory to a fixed location every time you start VisiMap, the easiest way is to modify the program icon you use to start VisiMap. To do this, right-click the icon on your desktop (Windows 95/98/NT4/2000) or in your program folder (Windows 3.1), and choose Properties from the popup menu. Then set the “Start-in” directory as desired.
