Where is the default upload location configured in Dataminer for uploading Visio files?

Hello, I am hoping to find out where the default location/path gets configured for uploading new Visio drawing files into Dataminer?

When downloading a Visio file from Dataminer to my PC, Dataminer defaults to the path... C:\ProgramData\Skyline\DataMiner\DataMinerCube\Online Editing... which is what I would expect.

However when attempting to upload a Visio file into Dataminer from my PC, the default upload location has changed to a different path (in my case its the Windows desktop). Please can you confirm where that default upload path gets configured in Dataminer?

Thank you

Reading your question again I believe you're looking to find out the way we determine the path on which your

  • browse window opens when trying to upload a file to the server
  • save window opens when trying to download a file from the server

For the save window (download) we leave this to the .NET framework. As of right now I'm not 100% sure of all the ins and outs of how the default path for these windows is determined (and at first glance the general consensus seems to be "it's complicated"). What is clear though is that it's done through a resource in your registry of windows, which is quite complicated to decipher.

The browse window (upload) always opens to the desktop by default. This has been the case since feature release 9.5.4 and main release 9.6.0. Before that it opened up to your "My documents" folder.

There's a couple more intricacies to this (again, the file dialog implementation is not super easy to decipher and change every so often), but in general that's how it will behave and has behaved for a while.
