Doesn't work if download path is less than two levels deep #32

Closed Marxsal closed 4 years ago

Marxsal commented 5 years ago

If I put the download path here:

D:\data\Wikis\

Then I can save

D:\data\Wikis\ABC\myfile.html

But if the download dir is here:

D:\data\ or D:\

it won't save.

Objective: Create a Firefox personal profile JUST for tw use, where the download folder is the root folder, enabling the ENTIRE directory structure to be used for TW files.

Backup everything ... including backups and then please try the beta. https://github.com/pmario/file-backups/releases/tag/V0.3.10-beta

I'll have a closer look soon.

pmario commented 5 years ago

Hi, I did a test with D:\ as downloads directory and the TW in d:\tw.html and d:\data\tw.html both work with the beta and version 0.3.5 stable.

pmario commented 5 years ago

I did the same test with d:\data as download directory

Marxsal commented 5 years ago

Using 0.3.5. Be sure to try saving more than once. It worked for me exactly one time. c:\temp\file.html

Marxsal commented 5 years ago

Is there any way for me to see what path file-backups is seeing? Perhaps in the browser console? Thank you!

Marxsal commented 5 years ago

With the beta, I am able to use C: (hard drive) and D:\data (network drive) but not D:.

Marxsal commented 5 years ago

Ok. I can use D:\ with beta, but I had to restart FF first. The order:

Switch to D:\ Install beta Reboot FF

@Marxsal ... I did some more tests, but I can't reproduce a problem. Both stable and beta AddOn work for me.

pmario commented 4 years ago

@Marxsal ... Can you try to create a new directory structure? ... But make backups first ;)

Marxsal commented 4 years ago

Hi @pmario -- sorry for the delay. I did mention that the problem resolved after restarting FF. Re the request to make a new directory structure, where do you mean? Under /Downloads, or somewhere else? Thanks!

... I did mention that the problem resolved after restarting FF.

ahh OK

I did mean a new dir under Downloads. ... There must be a hickup somewhere. I'll keep my eyes open.
