Hi Stuart,
I'm trying to change the base directory,
Thank you for your message. Can you be more specific about the topic you raise?
What do you call base directory? A root directory where all your photos are? The directory where darktable stores its library and settings? A directory where darktable exports? Something else?
I'm trying to change the base directory, but it's not saving where I want it to
What did you do exactly to change the base directory?
I'm trying to change the base directory, but it's not saving where I want it to (on a different HDD within the same computer). What is the proper way to write it out?
To write out where? It's difficult to answer questions when we don't know what you are talking about.
The folder I want to use drag-and-drops this: file:///HDD/Photos which creates a new folder in my HOME directory.
Reading your sentences I guess there is a train of thought, but as written they are too concise to make sense of them.
Here is a reasonably short and to-the-point source of hints: https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2017/02/15/how-to-write-a-bug-report/
Also, consider starting with one or two sentences about what is unsatisfying about the default situation which supposedly would be fixed by changing the "base directory". This is to detect if we have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem here.
