Format directory

We have a format directory specified in our config.pro as follows:

pro_format_dir X:\DATA Root Items\prostart\formats

...but this has subfolders where we keep little used formats. One of our guys had to use one of these formats, then when he went back to the drawing in a subsequent session, the format had of course fallen off.

Any way around this, short of keeping all our formats in one place? Does "search path" do anything?

Yep, search_path_file could do it, if you list the subfolder inside that file.
