Yeah, this makes sense, essentially you've located your instances within D: but then tried to migrate them to D:/Progs. Whilst this logically makes sense, the way the app handles the instances folder is that it expects the folders within the instance's folder to be instances, not generic folders, so placing the instances' folder within the current instances folder has the possibility of making things go weird...

There is nothing stopping you from closing the app, moving the folders yourself, then editing the settings.json within the apps .ftba/bin folder. And telling it where the new instances are located.

This isn't super ideal by any means, I'm sure there is something I can do to allow this to be done within the app...
