The handling of start-folders in FC seems to be not appropriate for me or I have'nt understood, how to control it in "Settings.."
My way of handling folders for repetitive work on files in folders is like this:
>> I want FC to start always with the same selection of folders in the panels.
>> Sometimes I want to change this selection in a simple way, for example "start with currently selected folders" or similiar.
>> While working with FC, I may change the paths of the panels and even close the program. But the start-folders should be well defined as described above.
Is this possible with FC 64bit?
Thanks

Re: Start folders
Thanks Horst,
Using this Setting-tab I have tried to find, what I want.
I can select:
>> Settings\Start Program\Start/TEMP folder <<
and select start-folders for both panels , but this is not a really fast handling.
I think it would be more effective, if I could select appropriate folders in the panels
and then select in a simple way "start with currently selected folders" or similiar.
Maybe using some fast sub-menue or buttons or so.
The selected folders can be inserted into the settings described above for next start.
Regards
Werner

Re: Start folders
My recommendation is to use layouts if you have a number of different configurations you want.
Set panels the way you want them. Go to View, Layouts, Save current layout...
Personally I use the setting as described by Horst to always have FC open to my set folders. Then I use layouts to have FC set my panes with specific folders as needed for a particular project I'm working on.
You can set an icon on the action toolbar to access layouts in one click.
