How to set a default path when exporting from CR 8.5 preview 1

[MarnickBolle]

Users use CR 8.5 preview screen and press on the button with the enveloppe to export to PDF-file.

Default, the export-procedure suggests to export to the users temp folder.

Is it possible to change the standaard export path to another path, so that users who are not familiar with explorer directly save the exported files in the right (and suggested) folder?

Don't think so. I looked through the Registry, and didn't find anything there. Searched the BO website, and found this:

http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011986.asp

It references CR 9.0, but I imagine the same applies for 8.5.

MarnickBolle,

Thanks for raising this. The behaviour you describe drives my users crazy. It's bad enough that you can't change the default folder, but who on earth came up with the idea of setting it to the Temp folder? I would have thought that was the last place you would want to save an exported file to.
