Can I set the folder where File Browser should start? It defaults to the My Pictures folder, and I’d rather have it default to a network folder.

Which version of PS. PS 7 has some odd algorithm for remembering which folder to start in. Dunno about CS.

I don’t believe you can set it up to open somewhere in particular. I think the logic is to open in the last folder from which a file was opened. I do not believe it defaults to My Pictures [always].

Personally, I use Photoshop Album as my browser and drag pics into PS 7. I gather PS CS has some nifty features in the browser.

There seems to be no method to the madness as to where File Browser chooses to open in PS 7.01 🙂 Have found that sometimes it opens in My Pictures… sometimes in the last viewed folder…. and this is irrespective of a PS shut down and restart or a complete system shut down and restart….

Cheers…

Dan,

Put a shortcut in the My Pictures folder. Not ideal but then it’s only one double-click to your favorite folder…
