The Option->TImeshift "Directory" keeps changing to the system drive ("C:\Users\Public\Videos\")

 

My system drive is a SSD with limited space.

 

I have changed the configuration to use a network drive like "\\NAS2\tmp\Timeshift - DVBViewer", this works fine for some time

 

I have observed several times that this setting is forgotten/reset.

 

I believe that this happens

- when-ever a new DVBViewer version is installed

- at other times - but when ?? ( I do not see it until the system drive runs out of space a week or two later)

 

 

I am using

- DVBViewer 5.5.2.0

- WIN 10, 64 bit

If the configured recording/timeshift folder is not write accessible, the DVBViewer will fall back to C:\Users\Public\Videos\.

 

So if the DVBViewer is running and for what ever reason Windows tells it, for what ever reason it could not writ on the configured path. The DVBViewer will switch to the fall-back.

 

And that is more likely on a network device to happen then on a internal drive.
