Small Installer "Bug" (FIXED)

nait · 05-19-2021, 07:04 AM

This has existed for quite a while, but thought I'd finally report it.

Can you please update the installer for Windows so that if the Destination Folder is changed by the user, and then the Portable install box is checked.. don't overwrite the Destination Folder with C:\REAPER. I only do portable installs, and my user brain says "fill out the destination folder first, then check portable install and hit next", and I don't notice the folder automatically changes to C:\REAPER.

There might be a reason for that though, so maybe it isn't something you want to change. I can see not doing it if "C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)" is still in the Destination Folder box, but if the user changes it to something else, that should stick, IMO.

Oh yes

It should be done now in Reaper v6.29+dev0520, thanks Justin.

(not actually tried yet, but hope it will be OK)
