Notepad++ not remembering where the current file is saved
-
Hopefully this is an easy question-first ever post! Why does Notepad++ no longer remember where the current file has been saved?
For example:
“File|Save As…” file1.txt located in \directory1
Then:
“File|Save As…” file2.txt located in \directory2 -> defaults to saving it in \directory1 - instead of \directory2.Notepad++ used to default to saving the file in its current directory, ie: “File|Save As…” file2.txt in \directory2. Any ideas or hints?
Thank you!

Which setting do you have on Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Default Open/Save file Directory?

See User Manual : Default Directory settings

@PeterJones yes that was it!
So indeed it was an easy one - you’d think I would have figured that out. Haha
Thank you for pointing me to the setting!
