I'm using Illustrator CS6 in Windows 7. I work for a weekly business newsletter publisher, with many repeating graphs that are updated weekly, monthly, etc. Most of the data is in spreadsheets and databases, and is output in text format. In Illustrator, the Graph > Data > Import Graph Data feature is used to import the text file, and update the graph. Some of my graphs are full page, and are comprised of 5-20 different smaller graphs.
In CS5, when I imported the first graph's data by navigating to the path and folder where the file lived, then selected the next graph and Import Graph Data again, the second graph and all subsequent graphs would automatically use the first path and folder I just navigated to, so I would just select the next text file from that folder.
We have upgraded to CS6. Illustrator has become stupid, and every single time I select Import Graph Data from the datasheet view, it defaults to the Computer view. So I have to copy the path and paste it in the address bar, or navigate to the folder again every single time from the default Computer view when I want to Import Graph Data. It's a real pain, particularly on pages with many graphs.
I have searched for options where I can set to use the previous path until it changes when importing, but I can't find anything. Has anyone else run into this, or am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks in advance.
