Can't add a folder that doesn't exist.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Folder Configuration, click the + button to add a folder.
2. Enter a folder name and a path to a folder that doesn't exist yet.
3. Click Save.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Gives the message: "Request failed."  It should indicate that the folder 
doesn't exist.  There should be an option to automatically create new folders.  
Previous versions of Mollify could do this.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mollify 2.5.5, Ubuntu 12.04

Could you dig out the server PHP error log? It should offer to create this 
folder if it does not exist, but since you get request failed, there is some 
error.

I just enabled some plugins and executed the update function.  Now it prompts 
to create non-existent folders.  Strange.

There was something odd when I did the update.  It said that the system needed 
to be updated to version 2.5.1, or something like that, even though I'm 
currently running version 2.5.5.

That version number was a mistake in the update, I accidentally just increased 
the last db version (2.5) to 2.5.1 when the release version was 2.5.5. This 
will be synced in next release.

Can't see any explanation in the log, perhaps you had some plugin to be 
installed? Anyway, most important that it works now. I'll test if I can 
reproduce myself, but for now I'll close this.
