Changing the default folder

Postby FakingAmnesia » 02 Mar 2009 16:52

Is there a way to change the default folder that opens when I click "Open Folder"? Right now it opens to VLC's install folder, and I'd much rather it open where my music and videos are. I looked under both simple and advanced preferences, and I couldn't find a way to change it.

Hi, find your vlcrc config file and look for "filedialog-path="

That worked for when I go to Open File, but I need to change this for Open Folder.
Thanks.
