misdirected steem from memory snapshot

[charles]

hi all..
ive been using steem for quite some time ....

here is my problem :

I have multiple steem programs in multiple folders on my pc's desktop...
one for programming ,
one for midi ,
one for art ...you see ...

so all my song files aren't mixed in with programming files miced in with art etc etc etc


everything is fine , I love it !

however when launching a memory snapshot
(for quik loading)

steem can not decipher or tell which configuration of the multiple occurances of steem it has been saved with
and often just chooses the first one found.

doesn't appear that big of problem but its beginning too irritate me
especially since the art folder steem loads a music memory snapshot ...or the programming steem loads an art memory snapshot ....etc etc etc etc

so is there a way a person can have the desired snapshot loaded with the instance of steem which saved it .???

It's up to Windows, so it may depend on which version you have.

In Windows 7 you can alter the file extension from sts to, say, stx. Try to open it, then "select a program from list..." and browse to the instance you want. Tick "always use..." then that extension will always open in that instance.

You'll have to change the extension each time you save a snapshot. It would probably be simpler to just open your chosen instance of Steem and load in your snapshot from the list provided.
