At the moment each time I want to make a dump of a database by MySQL Workbench it shows me this standard path as default:
/home/me/dumps/Dump20110810 # The date alters.
Since I have moved my dumps to a more suitable place (for me) it is getting annoying to change the path each time I want to dump something. I'd really like to have a setting option to not only give MySQL Workbench an other default path but perhaps turn the new template into something like:
/home/me/coding/myproject/Dump_database_name_2011-08-10_23:59
I poked arround in the settings but I couldn't find any switches for that. Perhaps someone more skilled with the Workbench knows how to alter this behavior?
The setting for the import/export folder is set by using the file menu Edit --> Preferences... --> Administrator ---> Export Directory Path
Restart MySQL Workbench for the changes to take effect.
There seems to be a bug which causes only the import folder to be updated, but if you also specify the folder path in the Data Export tool.
Then it should work
Or update to MySQL Workbench 5.2.38 CE. In this version the bug mentioned above is fixed
