How do I setup abiword to save documents to a different save path than the default?

It's been a while since I used Abiword (too buggy in my computer :( ), but I think you could change the path by simply moving to the desired directory before calling Abiword itself. You can automatize the process with a simple script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

cd /the/save/directory/you/want
abiword $1

You then used this script to invoke the program instead of typing "abiword". When you decide to save the document, the default directory will be the one you chose.

Hope it helps
