workspace script file save error

[MarkT]

I think I have messed up... I've tried to disconnect from One Drive, and set the default save file location to a local drive. But I guess PWP had at one time set save locations for script and other files to a One Drive location.

Is there something I can do to point PWP to a local save location?

Thank you.

It looks like your My Documents folder still points to One Drive. To change the location of My Documents, right click on it and select Properties and then the Location tab. Make sure to have it copy the contents of the old folder to the new location or you will need to re-install PWP and may lose some saved settings files.

Thank you. I had to log back in to One Drive to make the change, and then quit. Autosave.workspace saved to my local folder, and all is well.
(If I hadn't tried running in 'airplane mode' I don't think I would have found out about the issue...)

So, now autosave.workspace is saving in the "correct" location, but I get an error saying previous.workspace cannot be saved. There is an old version of previous.workspace in the folder.

Also, there are now 5 versions of autosave.workspace, the latest one, and then autosave1, autosave2... going back in time.

Maybe if I re-install PWP with airplane mode on, the correct connections will be established?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Microsoft made an amazing mess out of this to try to get users dependent on with One Drive. I can only refer you back to my older post on this topic again: viewtopic.php?p=14160&hilit=One+Drive#p14160

Thank you for the info. I'm beginning to see the depth of the problem...
