You may designate particular folders as the default locations for particular types of files as you create, save, open, import, and export files, thereby saving time as you work with Reunion.
For example, you may want to store chart files in one location, and picture files in another location. Or you may routinely import GEDCOM files from a certain folder nestled somewhere inside the Documents folder.
In the Folder settings window, Reunion lets you specify default locations for different types of files, offering the flexibility to suit your workflow. To open the Folder Settings, choose , and click the button.
Note: Folder settings are global — they apply to all your family files.

Each time you create a report, Reunion saves a report file on your hard disk. Reunion must save reports to disk in order to automatically open them in your word processor. It does this by sending a message to the macOS telling it which report file to open.
When Reunion was installed on your hard disk, a Reports folder was created here: Home/Documents/Reunion Files. This is the default Reports folder — the storage bin for your report files. For convenience, you may want to change this to the folder where you normally store other correspondence — perhaps in your Documents folder.
