Is there some back door way of saving the folder paths under File Locations in the "References/Where Used" tab? It seems pretty pathetic to me to have to go through all the Folder tree locations again and again, and not have any memory of the paths I am taking. It makes you start from scratch every time. Maybe in other settings people are not having issues, but in my circumstance it is killing me. We have hundreds of series folders on two drives - unreleased and released. Within each of these hundreds of series folders are numerous sub-folders; and one such folder is a PARTS folder which contains all SW models pertaining to that particular series. Alright, now if I'm doing a simple search this is no problem. If I have to add a couple of series this is still not a problem. When I have to search all series and both drives this is a significant issue! Such a search takes over an hour for ONE part, and I usually have to do dozens. The way to expedite this is by choosing only the parts folder within the series. The PROBLEM with this is that it takes over an hour to do this in all the series folders and I can't save this for a future date. I can't keep the search for simple searches, so this becomes something I have to do over and over and over and over again!
Please tell me, with all the money this company spends on SW, there is a better way.
