Quick question:

After someone mentioned it on the board I moved my default library location from C:\programs\etc... to a different drive. Unfortunately periodically (after reboot) MC doesnt know where to look for it and so generates another library 'Default 1' in which all the files have red x's.  How can i get MC to remember where the library is kept?

pip

It should remember. ?
I would give it another name instead of Default. If MC still forgets what library to use then the reason must be a bad connection to the drive/path when the program starts. MC can't find it and uses/makes another library, I think...

I have several libraries for testing purposes. When I start MC the last used library is always actice.

The only reason it'd "forget" would be if it was failing to load the library.

Could it be on a drive that's offline sometimes or something?

thanks guys that sounds about right. the library is one one of my ill fated firewire drives. so its highly possible i loaded MC while one of them was down...

I'll move it to an internal drive and see if that fixes it.
