"write project summary" not writing to Scratch folder
Running Windows Vista, I find the project summary in
C:\Users\<MyName>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Scratch
not in
C:\Program Files\Scratch
as suggested in some Scratch Team forum posts. Perhaps someone can test and/or explain?
Some forum posters have said this undocumented feature does not work. Maybe this is why.
The location above is hard to discover, since my PC is configured to hide the AppData folder when using Windows Explorer ('My Computer').
Scratch team forum posts have less often added that the summary text is also in the Clipboard in Windows, hence available for pasting into Word, Notepad etc etc.
Perhaps new posts to the forums where this topic has come up would be appreciated!
(New on my wishlist: reversing this process, i.e. writing Scratch stacks in a text editor, then copying into a project...)

Re: "write project summary" not writing to Scratch folder
Yes, that AppData area that Vista uses is VERY hard to find. I went to clean-up my projects and had a really tough time finding them. The Search command finally came through and now I have a shortcut right on my desktop leading to where Scratch hides my files. Is there a way to configure Windows Explorer to make it easier to get at those files?
