Black Hole
May contain traces of nut
Not so much a question as an observation:
For my Win7 notebook I use Apache OpenOffice as my WP & spreadsheet, and I have DOpus as a Windows Explorer replacement. This could be something to do with them, but it might also be native behaviour for Win7.
If I create a PDF from OO, I like it to go to a specific default "PDF Output" folder so I know where it is and can move it where I want later. (It would be nice if OO offered to put it in the folder containing the currently open document automatically, but it doesn't and remembers the last place you outputted a PDF to... hence the convenience of a specific folder for that purpose.) But (get this!), if I then use DOpus to drag the PDF to another folder, OO somehow knows and opens that other folder as its next default PDF output destination!
However, if I first rename the output file (in DOpus) before dragging it elsewhere, the link is broken and OO defaults to the previous location again.
Somebody with more knowledge of how Windows manages its file systems might be able to explain this, but I can't see how actions in DOpus get back to OO.
