How is Path of Building expected to behave?
Its behaviour isnt the problem the path to save the builds its for me at least bugged and everytime i open the path of building i have to put the path of the folder again and again it doesnt save when i hit save,also for some reason each time i download it i save it in a ssd and then in the app it always says its saved in onedrive so i cant have my builds saved or even seen.

Your settings.xml is saved in onedrive which is known to cause all kinds of issues. Try opening settings.xml in notepad or setting "Keep on this device" in one drive settings.
On more recent Windows releases it puts several of your personal folders like Documents transparently on your Microsoft account's OneDrive. This works fairly transparently and well until OneDrive is either artificially disabled, breaks, or the files stop being available offline. While conceptually on your SSD and appearing fairly plain in Explorer, they're still actually provided via OneDrive. As the settings XML file for a non-portable installation is in your Documents folder and can't be loaded or saved properly in your setup, setting the build location only works for the session. There's not much we can do on the Path of Building side when the underlying storage doesn't quite work - the ultimate solutions are to either make OneDrive work properly on your computer or to exclude Documents from being on OneDrive via OneDrive settings - take backups before you play around so that you don't lose files by accident.
So i just took ur advice but everytime i redownload the path of building app there is none settings.xml file its gone like everytime,i tried moving files to onedrive didn't work i tried the settings u told me in one drive didnt either.I think its the file missing for some reason.
It could really help if i could go on a discord call with someone i guess to try and fix this setting.xml file missing.
settings.xml should be created when you save your builds path.
Alternatively you can try using the standalone version of POB.
