has the Drive selection been fixed?

[Comedyfan]

not long ago i asked a question about fab saying that no matter what i selected in options,my E: drive always defaults,so i have to select C: from the pull down menu or else my DVD Drive opens up every time. some people offered help,but nothing worked. I hope that soon this will be fixed. Thanks.

Please don't hold your breath waiting for that fix... when you install, load, and run a program whose sole purpose is to decrypt and rip DVD files from a DVD disc inserted in your computer, any other use of the program is secondary, and a fix to a secondary task isn't likely to be high on the to-do list.

The one exception to this would be the Mobile option and the Write Data mode, and I believe those default to a hard-drive option (I rarely use them, so I'm not 100% sure).

if you don't mind me asking,how is that a secondary? if you go into options,the default should be wehere you set it. If you say you want your files under C:/my rips for example,you shouldn't have to program it again,if it's set to the way you want it in options. Just saying.

This member wants the default to be the hard drive and not the DVD drive. The temp file default is what you are thinking about and that not what the OP was talking about.

Are you asking about the Source or the Target? DVDFab will remember whatever target drive you set. Mine opens with E:\VIDEO as the target folder.

Mine too, I set it like in the attached picture and it stays:

I just found something interesting, the default output directory sticks in Windows 7 but nothing I can do will make it stick in the Vista machine

[Comedyfan]

well the output says C: right now but on the page where the DVD loads, it says E: which is my PC CD/DVD Drive. in order to rip,i gotta use the pulldown menu to say C: everytime or else my E: drive ejects. I can't seem to make it stick. if this is a target issue,and if that will fix it,then show me how,because i'd like to get this fixed. i keep forgetting to pull down to C: and it's frustrating. by the way 90312's attachment for his DVD Fab is what i was talking about.

[90312]

What OS are you running? I can't make it stick either on my computer running Vista Ultimate.

Ok Comedyfan I found it, starting to feel like a noob here! When you set the the directory in the "General" settings you have to go on down to "DVD to DVD" and set the type to a folder and it will stick for you. See the attachment:

That works. I have been trying to figure it out for days and it was that simple..

I do not remember having to make that selection on v6 but whateve--r it works now.

[90312]

Yeah, like I said I was scratching my head and feeling like a noob! sometimes you just trip over the solution.

[Comedyfan]

hmmm

this is gonna sound weord but where you have it highlighted,it reads Blu-Ray to Blu-Ray,but yet i don't even burn to blu-ray currently. I don't know when this started.

[90312]

All of the modules are included in the install, just won't function until you pay for them. I don't use BR to BR either but as you can see in the picture it's there.
