Capture directory cannot be changed

Hello Robin,

It seems that it is impossible to change the default directory for captures from \Desktop\SharpCap Captures to something else. I noticed that whatever you type into the capture directory does not seem to stay after you leave the settings window. Thanks again for your great program. It is a ton of fun!

Best, Bill

Hi Bill,

I think it will work if you type in the name of a directory that exists (or if you use the Browse button on the right to pick a directory). If you type something in that doesn't exist then the background turns red and it will ignore you. Maybe I need to make that more obvious.

cheers,

Robin

Got it. Thank you. Actually, it is quite clear the way you have it. The fault was entirely mine, I forgot to press the APPLY button.
