    Hi Brendan
    I have been backing up manually to a user designated location under 1.5, since updating to v2 I have found the backup on quit in prefs which is great. However no files show there in the prefs window, even though I have quit and restarted several times. Is the backup location fixed in the container, or is it selectable?
    Cheers

    Oops!
    Having hit the backup key in prefs for the first time it backed up. Then when I later quit it backed up again. Maybe looking for a save path?

    Hi Tony,

    I’ll look into that. But it’s possible it didn’t create the Backups folder until you manually hit the Backup button.

    Thanks,

    Hi Brendan
    Location of backup on quit – in container or user selectable?
    Cheers

    Hi Tony,

    It’s in the app’s sandbox container. That’s because without first asking for an open file dialogue, the app doesn’t have permission to write anywhere else.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
