files to open on startup not remembering changed path

Hi,
In global settings >> general 1 >> files to open at start up, I am finding that if I use the 'folder' button to browse for .cht files that are not in the root of the data folder (ie in a chartbook group folder) then it wont open them on startup, unless luckily there is a .cht file with the same name in the root of the data folder.

Hence I'm concluding its not remembering the path to the file and always looks in the root of the data folder even if I browse to another folder.

Please can you advise a fix?

Also how do I get the 'multiple selection' option to work (it seems to be permanently greyed out)

Thanks

We would have to check but if this is what you are seeing it is absolutely by design.

It is not supported by that file dialog.

Hi,
If it is by design, then it seems pointless having the 'folder' button as it will never actually be opening the .cht file you browse to. Normally I open a chart group of plots, which are in a sub folder, which I want to automate on opening. Because these are copies of the .cht files they may not necessarily be the exact same, or even exist at all in the root of the data folder.
