Suggest reinstall if unable to re-create modloader directories

I have this error:

QuestPatcher.Core.AdbException: Code 1: rm: chmod '/sdcard/Android/data/com.beatgames.beatsaber/files/mods/' to 0700: Operation not permitted

I am not sure if it is related, but to get access to the required folder I need this address: This PC\Quest 3\Internal shared storage\Android\data\com.beatgames.beatsaber\files
Is it possible to tell Quest patcher to look in another folder?

OK, so breaking down this issue:

• QuestPatcher is attempting to delete the /sdcard/Android/data/com.beatgames.beatsaber/files/mods/ directory in order to recreate it.
• It's doing this because it's detected that permissions on that folder are messed up and it can't fix them as Android is denying it permission.
• But... Android is denying it permission to recreate the folder too, so now it's stuck.

This isn't something QP can directly fix - the measures taken above are already my best attempt at a fix in both cases. If the directories are truly this messed up, your best option is to reinstall the app you're modding.

(the alternative folder you suggest is just where file explorer happens to show the same folder, QP is looking in the same place. This isn't a "directory not found" issue but rather a "permission denied" issue)

Perhaps in the future I could suggest to the user to reinstall the app in this case. I'll change this issue accordingly.
