109 - Filters are always saved to the original install drive.

SQ4x - 109 was installed fresh on Drive C:. The whole folder was then copied to Drive D for all testing and evaluation. The Drive C was left as originally installed. The icon on the desktop was changed to reference Drive D for program location and start directory and is attached.

When running SQ off of Drive D any filters that are saved are written to the Drive C installation, not the active Drive D installation.  The Load saved filter only looks at Drive D and cannot see the previously saved filters.

When the folder name on Drive C is changed and an attempt to save a filter is made SQ cannot find the install directory so it defaults to looking at the system Documents folder.

SQ4 - 109 is not truly portable to other locations.

Thank you,
Dave

Update:

Once the drive and folder have been set manually to look at the D: installation SQ remembers the location correctly, even after exiting & re-starting SQ.

You copied the whole SQ folder together with settings /user/setttings/settings.dat.

You can delete this file to use the default locations.
