(Win XP) XML not created when previous directory is removed
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 5:59 pm
When exporting to XML, the XML file is nowhere to be found when the previous export folder is removed. Somehow only evident on XP.
To see:
Choose file->export, go to the desktop (or somewhere) and create a new folder, 'New Folder.'
Select type XML, press Save. (Same thing for other types, probably.)
Now, outside of CN, open w.Explorer and delete the whole directory.
Again in CN, F11 again, and press Save. Result: no XML file is created, no error message.
- After the folder is deleted, the export dialog defaults to 'My Documents.' However, as you can see in the screenshot, the 'Name' field still lists the previous folder. Because the filename to export to can be long, this isn't immediately visible. (I stretched the dialog a bit for the screenshot.)
- The issue persists after multiple runs of CN, until you manually select a different folder. (Which is a very typical thing to do of course.)
