Temp folder default is a weird location

I created a new WBS file to test out card containers. When I went to preview, it did nothing. So, a little digging and the temp folder assigned to it was

G:\Hamme\Books\Site\Temp

Now, I don't have a G: drive. I've never had a G: drive. So, do you have any idea where this has come from?

I'm running the latest version of WWB - 17.0.2.

thanks

Alan

Maybe you have opened a project from another use which has this as the default preview folder?
You can set the preview folder in Tools -> Options -> Files & Folders

Thanks Pablo. It was probbaly from one of the other projects from this web site that I was testing.

I have set it now. One question. Is that setting saved globally or on a per-project basis?

It is saved per project.

So, if it's a new project, where does it get the value from?

The default value for new projects is the last saved value.

Ah, that explains it then.

Does that apply to all options under Tools > Options?

It applies to some, but not all options.
For example, UI, guides, extensions, backup options are global. These settings are the same for all projects.
