Download path missing error prompt is displayed
What version of this package are you using? 0.20.0 (0.99.3) (64bit) What operating system, Node.js, and npm version? Linux 64bit 5.0.0-23 What happened? A "Download path missing" error prompt is displayed below the file menu on program launch. Second I tried to locate "Downloads" but my sym-linked secondary hard drive could not display any files. Weird. My file explorer (gnome nemo) can view/access ALL files in my sym-linked secondary hard drive. What did you expect to happen? No error prompts should be displayed. Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug? No - unless my Java/C# skills can be useful ;P.
Hi @exagram, how did you create the sym-link so we are able to replicate this locally? I can test this on my machine to see what happens and share my findings.
@martinwheeler
My files:
/home/{username}/Downloads
<-- the sym link
/media/{HDD name}/{username}/Downloads
<-- the hard link
Steps:
I first copied over the "Downloads" folder from my home drive to my external media storage.
I created the sym-link: ln -s "/media/{HDD name}/{username}/Downloads" "/home/{username}/Downloads"
Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
