• Desktop folder deleted

    By Oliver Busse 1 decade ago

    I just wanted to test my application with this and chose my Desktop folder for output. After receiving the error that "this is not a valid directory" my Desktop folder was gone - and with it all content (files, folders etc.).

    I believe that the Desktop was deleted on my first attempt and the error message statet just what happened before - the deletion of the folder.

    :-(

      That explains your behavior. It does this to avoid left over garbage, after file renaming, for example.

      So you should use a subfolder in your workspace. I don't know what we can do, except maybe trying to guess that the files currently contained in the folder are not doc files, and then warn the user.
