I was having trouble with one specific file. file-backups wanted to revert to a "save-as" dialog. I finally got it to save by opening from file explorer. This gave the fb warning that there were two versions open. Then I could use the 2nd version and save. I'm thinking there was some background conflict with backups, but dunno. There is some issue, sometimes, which I know is incredibly vague.
On another issue, what path can you give fb to tell it to save in an absolute location? Every path I try gives me the red outline. There are many reasons a person might not want to save in the same directory as the original file. For one thing, it means the "real" backup to a separate drive will be longer. The working drive may have less capacity than the backup drive. There is more overhead when running dropbox or syncthing. Thanks!
