Backup location fail

[Peter Prewett]

I have DP+ on W10 computer.
I have tried numerous times to set Backup to a folder DP+ in Users etc. it shows up in DP+ Options Backup, it just ignores and puts it into the folder where the working file is located.

You're hitting 'Apply' after you've set the path?

Utilities > Backups (tab) > Browse (choose folder) > Apply

I can't get it to fail. Are you trying to save in an unusual (restricted) folder?

[Peter Prewett]

Have set it up before on other versions with out problems.

When installing DP+ it defaulted to C:\Users\pprew\.Xara Designer Pro+ so used that.

Reply prompted to look at DP 18 it shows Users\pprew\AppData\Local\Xara\XtremePro\18\Backup s

is that period in the path actually there in front of Xara Designer Pro + :

Yes a period, I accepted the default location setting when opened up DP+ Options>backup tab.

Peter, provided you use the Browse button, you will pick only valid local storage locations.
I cannot explain the period though.

My backup locations are I:\Xara Backups\<Product & Version> so i keep work with different XDAs separate, e.g., I:\Xara Backups\Xara Pro+ & I:\Xara Backups\XDPXv17.0.
