Dave,
If you are going to do a lot of exporting to a specific folder you could
write a specialized Export statement.
pdfplot = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}];
pdfExport[filename_String, pict_] :=
Export[ToFileName[{"AddOns", "ParkStudies", "Communications", "Packages"},
filename], pict]
pdfExport["picture.pdf", pdfplot]
"AddOns\\ParkStudies\\Communications\\Packages\\picture.pdf"

When I do
Export["picture.pdf", pict]
the file picture.pdf ends up in the directory
C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\4.0
I can see how to alter this by putting the full name of the file in the
notebook, The "Get File Path" even makes this somewhat easy.
But is there a settable Option or Preference governing the interpretation of
"filename" in Export[filename,data]?
In particular, I would like to be able to tell it to put the file in the
Directory that the notebook came from.
Doe Microsoft Windows have a notion of current directory?
