Open CKFinder to a default folder

Right now it seems to remember which folder I had selected the last time I opened the finder. Instead of it remembering, or in addition to, I would like to be able to define which folder to select when the finder loads. For example, let's say I have a bunch of football teams as folder names. Within my admin, they click edit to edit the football team and then they click on the "open image browser" link which would then open CKFinder with that football team folder selected. Is there a way of doing that with the API? I couldn't seem to find anything.

Ok nevermind, unless you have a way of doing it through the API. I found out that the info is stored in a cookie, so I just modified the cookie and it looks like it is working

Another way would be to:
- set rememberLastFolder to false
- and set the startupPath

Re: Open CKFinder to a default folder

Thanks, Ill have to look into this further. That looks to be better than my setting cookie method. I should be able to do what you're saying on a per ck instance also, instead of just having it as part of the default config.
