Bug in recording directory existance check (or lack thereof)

[Agent24]

I usually record my recordings to a directory on C: but recently I had been saving some to a drive called S:

I removed the drive a while ago and forgot to change the directory back to the usual one

Then I scheduled a recording, and when I came back to play it, couldn't find it.

I eventually found that my recordings directory was still set to S: and as such, my recording never happened.


I think GBPVR should check when a recording is scheduled, if the directory exists etc, and alert with a message

I understand that this could cause a problem if the recordings were set to record to a shared directory/mapped drive etc somewhere on another PC which may not be turned on at the time of scheduling, but have an option to override the error with the assumption that the directory will be available later on.

The app has never had any logic to do this. Its not very high on my priority to list to add some warning about this, but maybe in some future release it'll be added.

The work around is to set it to a directory it can record to
