Can't write to destination folder

[Diogo]

I'm the only one user of the computer and, thus, the administrator, but the aplication keeps telling me it's not possible to save the subtitle files to the destination folder [e.g. Desktop]. I tried many options 'till realized it would only work with "C:\".

What version are you using - standalone or installer? What OS are you using? Please provide more info as this seems like OS related problem.

I have the same problem on Windows 8 x64, and I checked the security settings of every file in the program directory, and set them to full control as an experiment, with no resolution though I did notice that the MSVCR71.dll package is depreciated on Windows 8.

I just notice this recently when I trying to save a subtitle to %userprofile%\downloads.

No matter where I try to save, the program says that it don't have write permissions to the folder.

It seems that the programs is replacing slashes to backslashes, trying to save in "c:/users/username\downloads", instead of "c:\users\username\downloads".

Strangely I have no problems to save in other partitions or external units.

Can't save to any folder inside %userprofile%, looks like its something related to this enviroment variable.

I'm using the installer version, running windows 8 x64.

Another issue, the program have no permissions to write the log file to program folder unless it's running as administrator.

As a workaround I changed write permissions of opensubdownloader.log to all users.

Better of if logs are written in userprofile or %appdata% folder

I have the same problem in the lastest opensubdownloader version (2.0.18) for windows 7 (x64).

Can you please try instead "%userprofile%/downloads"?
