Failed to make sure target directories do exist #12

Closed AfxousaAjagara closed 4 years ago

AfxousaAjagara commented 4 years ago

login is now successful, but now I get "Failed to make sure target directories do exist" error. Is there any way to give information for you to debug more better? I try to download Cenegan024's gallary.

I just found that can't even download this example link too (https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/jt47jade)

Strange...I delete everything related with furdown, re-download it and now it works again. more strange I literally doesn't touch anything except download link.

It looks more like a permissions problem rather than something in the app itself.

To function normally, furdown needs write permissions for %AppData%\furdown\furdown.conf and the two directories that are selectable in the Settings tab (unless portable mode is used). It will also likely not run from an insecure location like a SMB drive.

All I could think of is your antivirus software blocking some disk I/O on the first run, before it had a chance to check the safety.

Please let me know if you can reproduce this issue (and also include OS and antivirus software (if any) versions)

I'll tell you when I have same problem again. Thank you. I think you can close this issue now.

Okay, closing for now then

I've also tested on another vanilla version of Windows (Win10 1903, Windows Defender and SmartScreen on, x86) without much luck in terms of reproducing this.
