Hi,

I use OE as newsreader to follow aviation related NG's.
When I want to save images, I rightclick on the image in the message preview
and choose Save picture as... from the context menu.
Then the Save As dialog pops up, which is always pointing to the My Pictures
folder.
I'd like it to default to an folder on my D-drive.
I've searched Help and the Registry to accomplish this, but have gotten
nowhere...

Anyone who can enlighten me on this one?


TIA

Steven

Instead of using Right click, Save Picture, use File, Save Attachments.
That should remember the last folder that you saved to.

After you've selected the folder on D: drive the first time, it will be the
default for all other Saves during the current OE session. There's no way
to change the default permanently, I'm afraid.

I'm affraid that's not an option Michael, Save Attachments is greyed out.
Right-click/Save As is availlable, but unfortunately suffers from anmesia
between sessions...

Thanks for responding,

That's exactly what I'm experiencing...

If you do this regularly, you can use my OEX program to save all the
pictures in messages to a single directory you specify. See
www.oehelp.com/OEX/

I'm guessing these are HTML messages with embedded images. If you set
Tools, Options, Read, Read All Messages in Plain Text, that will treat
the images as attachments and the File, Save Attachments will be
enabled. But the images won't display automatically. So that may be
more bother than it is worth for you.

I'm affraid so, Michael.
I think I'll switch to XNews, there one can specify a folder for
attachments, if needed even a different one for each subscribed NG.
XNews also supports YEnc, another benefit over OE.
And the best of all: it's free.

Bye for now.
