I'd rather say broken (or not optimized) than confusing. :) a) When entering a path manually (as I did) that actually does exist, it still shows the error "path does not exists". b) Contrary to your observation, the error also occurs when not providing the *.enc file at the end of a path. Suggestion: When a user enters a path that does not exists, it should just silently create it - or at least ask the user, if he wants to create it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
