Data Folder Wont Save

bigstar · 10-06-2007, 03:26 PM

When upgrading to FlashFXP v3.6 we recommend storing your data files in the user application data folder. The problem with storing the data file else where is that your user account doesn't have write access to save the changes.

In the next RC release we will be including more warnings about this behavior.

Using the administrator account you can give your user account the proper file permissions for the files located in C:\ProgramData\FlashFXP\3\

I am using the Admin account but when I look in the folder - C:\ProgramData\FlashFXP\ it does not show a folder called \3\ and if I make the folder myself it still wont save the data there.

Update - Its working now it seems to be saving all the data in the folder C:\AppData\FlashFXP\

So does this mean that FlashFXP no longer supports custom data folders at all as of RC2? It was working fine for me in RC1 but now it will only read my settings from %AppData%\FlashFXP\3 even though I have full control permissions to my custom data folder. I've also made sure in the registry that the data folder location is correct. I'm on XP BTW.

If you did an upgrade install in RC2 it should continue to use the custom data folder. If you did a custom install you need to make sure you re-selected the same custom data folder.

I tested a RC1 to RC2 upgrade install and everything with smooth and works as expected.

The installer itself doesn't check file permissions and will let you select any folder.
