This latest upload will not let me change the location of the SSH key file. It's defaulting to a very old location from a previous laptop (I upgraded earlier this month) and now I can't change the location of the ssh key file.

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure how you will reproduce this other then to simply try to change your SSH key file and see if you can reproduce the error.

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?

The release prior to this current on. I don't have the exact release number because you auto-updated my system.

I was able to select "Repository", then "Remote Repositories" and I can edit the name/location of the key file to point to the correct key file. But as noted on other duplicate issues, the problem is that the original key file does not exist and the upload files page will no longer allow the key to be updated/changed when I think that was allowed in 4.0 and older versions.

"Premature Code Optimizations" at work for us!!!

Please try the solution in #10545

Not exactly the same as the other, but the change should be the same.
Why cant you change the key in PageAnt?

[kgrammer]

Changing the key in Pageant does not change the nature of this problem as the two are unrelated.
