Export path is not stored correctly

I put my XML exports on a shared drive (drive "P:\"); the disk itself resides in my Linux server and is EXT3 formatted and exported via Samba v3.0.23d. The path I always use is

    P:\Daten\Index

The (alphabetically) next directory entry after "Daten" on that disk is "lost+found" which is, what the export defaults to after exporting to "P:\Daten\Index". Of course, you cannot write anything on "lost+found", so an occasional export there would be very slow indeed.

Can anyone confirm this? And then, can anyone fix it? :-)

can't you mount the location directly where the data export has to go? Not very familiar with Linux
like Q:\ would be realy P:\Daten\Index\XPortHere
If this makes sense to you, what i'm trying to tell you?

I've had the same problem with dvd profiler not remembering the export path correctly so now I set up a batch file do do the export and set the destination in that.

problem solved

ie shortcut I run is:

"E:\Apps\DVD Profiler\dvdpro.exe"  /CloseExisting /CommandFile="E:\Apps\DVD Profiler Command files\export.txt"



and export.txt contents is

OpenDatabase Default
ExportXMLAll E:\Homepage_Sites\SF-Brain\phpdvdprofiler\Collection.xml
Close

Until recently I always exported directly to D:\ and I never had the problem of switching directories.

Then I installed a local Apache and pointed the output to D:\xampp\phpdvdprofiler. Now it happens occasionally that it points to D:\xampp\anonymous when I start the export. I have no idea what's causing this because the phpdvdprofiler directory is always there, so it can't be a "'directory not found' fallback strategy".

For me it sometimes points to D:\Recycled (the system folder for the trash bin) instead of D:\Apps.
And just now it pointed to D:\Music instead.
