[WT-support] Default directory for new contest files (V4)

[Ron Castro]

Actually, I like having them stored that way since the files are more organized that way.  Before, all of the various contest files all landed in the same directory with all of the other files used for the program.  

I wonder if next time I run the same contest, can I pull up the all the windows settings, configurations, etc. that I used in this year's contest?

  I used "Options | Log | Default Directory for new contest files" to change from the V4 default "...\My Documents\Win-Test" to


    C:\Program Files\WT4


  but now when I create a new contest log, e.g. NAQP CW, by default Win-Test 4 creates:


    C:\Program Files\WT4\NAQP-CW_2009 at N6TV\NAQP-CW_2009_STN1 at N6TV.wt4


  which seems much too long and redundant.  Is this a bug or is this working as intended?  I am really not fond of long files names.  I know I can use the [Delete] key to edit the names and remove the extra directory before pressing [OK], but I would really prefer not to have to do that every time I create a new Win-Test log.


  If this is working as the authors intended, please explain the advantage of creating a new subdirectory for every new contest log, especially if that directory is only going to contain one file for single-ops.


  In sum, if I tell Win-Test I want new logs in C:\Program Files\WT4, then I expect them to go into WT4, not to some new subdirectory of WT4.  Then from the command line I can just type


    WT filename


  to open the log, which is much easier than typing


    WT some-directory\filename


  or even worse


    WT "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Win-Test\filename"
