This may sound like a silly question, but where on your hard drive does Scapple actually save your files?
The reason I ask is this…
I wanted to make a hard back-up of my file.
Because Scapple lacks a ‘back-up to’ feature like Scriv, I used ‘save as’. After having saved the file and removed the hard disc, I returned to Scapple which dutifully, after two seconds, tried to auto-save my work. But it informed me it couldn’t.
I assume this was because the path had been changed.
I used ‘save as’ again to reset the path to the one Scapple routinely uses … but I didn’t know where that was. I searched in ‘My Documents’. I had no folder labelled Scapple. (I have a Scriv folder, which I think Scriv placed there itself. I certainly have no memory of creating a folder for Scriv files.)
I created a Scapple folder in ‘My Documents’ and directed Scapple to auto-save the work there. Which it did … once. But thereafter, I am being told ‘a file with that name already exists. do you want to replace it?’ Every two seconds!
Sigh!
I want to be able to save hard copy of my work and then have Scapple return to auto-saving my files in the same place as it did before (wherever that is!) without me having to manually change save paths.
Am I missing something?
Sorry for taking such an inordinate amount of time to describe what is actually a very simple problem.
