[0.32]Crash when hovering over a special on clothmap + request to be able to specify directory for outputs

from Elemental Forums

Debug.err

Crash when moving the mouse cursor over a something (don't know what it was). Probably a resource, I wanted to see what it was. I can't access the zip corresponding to the crash.

Is there any way to tell the program where to log data? Basically, all stuff that goes into 'All Users' is, for some reason, unavailable to me through Windows' Explorer. I'd like to redirect all input and output data if possible. For instance, I don't want my sovereign to be saved in my account folder, because I wouldd like to be able to share it with my daughter, and she won't be able to reach it from there. Would it be possible to get access to directories so we can have some level of control as to where the saved information go?

 

EDIT: This was a Scenic View (reloaded from autosave).

I don't think that we are able to specify a dir for saved stuff. So...perhaps you should download and use Total Commander for example. It has access to all directories, and its very easy to use as well. All you gotta do is: Download&Install / Configuration / Options - Display - Show hidden/system files

If you are using multiple Log in's, or Profiles, then just add those users to the Administration Group under your Control Panel.

The "All Users" Profile allows ALL users to have the same icons without having a bunch of duplication and wasted space, even though icons are not very big.

Your Profile should have Full Admin rights? If not you should rectify that...

The issue is that C:\Users\All Users is a link pointing to nothing, and doesn't exist. Same for C:\Documents and Settings. It's a link that points to nothing.

In fact, the links somehow link to S: instead of C:... Go figure how I managed to wreck that? I think making myself instead of Trusted User the owner of the C: drive may not have helped. Anyhow, a little bit of cygwin/ls -l/rm/ln and I've been able to locate  the damn file, which is in C:/ProgramData (to which All Userss is an alias)...

Finally, the zip (I hope it's the good one...). I hope the dl time isn't going to be as awful as the upload was, but I've got poor upload times, so I hope stardock can get it.
