Obviously an action has to be taken when a path isn't available - e.g. offer files on the factory default path. But I still believe that Legacy should not change the defaults set by the user. Perhaps it could ask the user if OK to change. Hence I still believe both these two items (1.2 and 6.1) are bugs
