If I put the download path here:

D:\data\Wikis<wiki dirs>

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

ahh OK

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