Motion Detection Save Files path goes back to default

Post by RedMan »

So far I love this software... it has SO MANY features for my webcam!

I have YawCam set to start streaming at startup so I can watch my camera live over the internet, but I do NOT have motion detection enabled at startup (maybe this is part of the issue).

I changed the file path under
Motion Detection window --> Actions --> Settings button next to "Save file"
I set the folder to my "Copy" folder so that I can see any files being saved from a remote location.

Before I leave the house, I click "Enable" next to "Motion", then I can watch that "Copy" folder from anywhere to see if any files are being saved at any time.

The problem is... when I reboot the computer, the save location of these files goes back to my default "Pictures/YawCamMotionDetection" folder. I have to reset it to the "Copy" folder every time.
Is there any way to make this setting stick so that all I have to do is click "Enable" on motion and start watching my "Copy" folder?
