Getting Stata to recall the last opened directory

[Suhail Doi]

Hi,

I have been using Stata 13 on a Windows system and each time I start Stata, CTRL+O took me to the last directory opened in either the main window or that of a DO file editor

After upgrading to Stata 15 it works on the main window but CTRL+O on the DO file editor takes me to c:\data and nothing I do changes this.

Is there anyway to restore the Stata 13 behaviour?

Many thanks
Suhail

One more thing related to directories. In Stata 13 clicking on file --> recent files lists the recently opened files but with the file name at the end visible and the location truncated. With Stata 15 I cannot see the file name at all as the location is not truncated. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks
Suhail

I posted a similar query a few days ago but received no reply. It seems that the Stata Corp. will have to directly reply to such queries as there is documentation or written help on changing this behavior and other users are as much clueless as we are.

Agree, looks like we may have to roll back to Stata 13 as I really do not see the difference apart from these hurdles
