OUCH! there is no CTRL+Z! I lost 2 platinum-disc melodies ( 😂) just because I clicked one button more, without saving it before đŸ˜± and, have you added a way to have any created resource saved in a different folder from the default one? ---

There is an Undo in edit mode in the upper left area. They are buttons rather then shortcuts but they’ve saved me a couple times. ![Screen Shot 2020-09-13 at 11.33.22 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/d/de80c56a71fb57b854a347bf9e9902957ea80261.png) You can choose the Export State Button under the Gear on the Upper Right and save things to any folder that way. Import is right above it. Or if you want to change where the default folder id you can change that under preferences ---

thanks Jamieh but I meant an “UNDO option” in ALL sections of Scaler, not only in that one there are many places where you can miss something important if you click on some button before saving the job, and David said the “UNDO everywhere” was one of the possible new feature in this release about the export folder, I see 2 places that are Chordsets location and Sound location but they are fixed in other words, I would prefer Scaler remembering the last folder I saved something into, so that I can save it again and reload it quickly if needed I don’t know if I explained my idea correctly AND there is no chances IMHO to select a folder for Scaler states ---

I believe you can change that chordsets folder to any you want in preferences. If you hover over the double folder icon it says SET SOURCE FOLDER. But if you want to save chord sets per project say into your project folder, I think Export State is best for that. Unless I am misunderstanding what you want. ---

thanks for information Davide and what about a way to move the Scaler status files in a preferred folder? the current place is awkward: too far away from the folders I use for Ableton songs tc ---

It’s dependent on your last save if you are on a Mac. There are ways around that though. I use Shortcut Bar for places I go a lot and it saves much time. You could put a folder in the sidebar so it’s a quick nav. Things like that. ---

not in my system where the root folder is always offered and the other way is not feasible in Windows (tested yesterday) thanks anyway for effort 😀 ---

That’s not true. In Windows you have the “Quick Access” section, when you go to save or load a state. If you put in proper shortcuts there by “pinning to quick access” the folders you need, boom, it’s one additional click to get where you want. ---

> [@ClaudioPorcellana](#): > > the root folder is always offered You can put a shortcut into your “root” folder for one-click access on any Windows system. Quick Access is a Win 8? but definitely a Windows 10 thing and not available on Windows 7. I turn it off on my Windows server. I definitely do need or like it at all. ---

> [@jamieh](#): > > There are ways around that though. I use Shortcut Bar for places I go a lot and it saves much time. now I understand what do you meant Windows 8.1 has indeed the option to bookmark most used folders under Favorites so you can access them faster, so I can certainly put under Favorites the folder that Scaler uses to save xml files, but the root folder (C:\Users\My\_name) also contains critical files & folders and I don’t want that Scaler xml files go there with the risk to do a mistake and delete a critical file or folder all other softwares I have let you select a personal folder, then they remember that folder at the following run: it is practical and safe [Previous page](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/scaler-2-1-update-overview-video/4843.md?page=1)
