File Container Location

[wrbird]

When I create a new file container tab it creates it in the file containers folder based on the settings (%FcAppDataPath%\FileContainers). I know that I can change this location. However, what I need to do is create it in the current folder that I'm in, just like I would be creating an actual subfolder. Is there a way to do this? Or is there a specific reason why I shouldn't create file containers in any other folder than what the settings state?

I'm knew to using file containers, so thanks for your help.

I think it would be a mess if they'd be creating in many different folders, they work only in FC, I see no reason why they should be created in actual folder.

Yes I understand, but 1) I'm the one accessing them and I always use FCXE and 2) these .fcc files are really just txt files with the file locations, so anyone can open these files with a text editor and read the data if they wanted to. But, you've also answered my question, so thank you for that.

I suggest to create the button for "Tab container: Go to file containers folder" in the splitter bar, to easily access file containers - or/and create new tab, enter the file container and lock folder tab (perhaps for both panels), this way it will be available if needed, also after FC restart.

Excellent, thanks for the response.
