destination directory - custom option broken?

Post by jemima »

Hey.

Following that description viewtopic.php?t=7308 it seems to me that the "Custom" option is broken, in particular, when I select "Custom" and specify some directory, it will not generate a backup directly within that, but sill add an <VOLUME NAME> intermediate directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jemima

1st, what OS & which version of MakeMKV are you using?

I tested this on Win10 using MakeMKV 1.17.8 (the newest version).
It functioned *exactly* as described in the post you linked.

The 2 possibilities I can think of presently are:
1- You are using a different version of MakeMKV or on a different OS and the version you are using is bugged.
2- You did not reload the source after changing your preference.

I changed the preference in View > Preferences, set it to an option, clicked OK, then reloaded the source (File > Open Disc > select disc).
It rescanned the disc then set the output directory based on which option I selected, which it did exactly as described in the post you linked.
If it is not behaving that way for you then we should try to determine possible causes, and a good place to start is any differences between your system and a functioning system (though mine is suffering a different issue...)
