WD wont load if last project file has moved

Hi,

WD is set to auto load a project, Ive just closed WD and moved the project file.
Now when I run WD, it reports this error:-

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\ ...
File name 'C:\ ...
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
... [it continues but is far too long to type out here]

So now I cannot open WD until I move the file back to its original location, start WD, turn off auto load last project, move the file again, then load WD and then the project, and THEN turn on auto load last project again!

Hi Lynden,

as far as I know there is no way to avoid that since the "load last config" setting is written into the Widget Designer Subdirectory and not into the show file. So if the show file is not there anymore it will fail to open it.

I will check if we have a chance to create a escape plan for that issue. But anyway if you did move the file manually Widget Designer will never be able to find that file again.

best wishes

Patrick

Obviously the work around is already there, but there has to be a button implemented to load a different file.
