Description
Description
I am trying to change the states and saves folders to another custom folder. I can choose folder, but when I leave the directory settings and go back in again, it's back to the default folder again. I even tried to save the config, but I guess folders are reset as soon as you leave the directory settings.
Expected behavior
To save my assigned folder that I chose.
Actual behavior
Not saving my chosen folder.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Change a folder for either saves or states, which are the only ones I have tried.
- Leave the directory settings and go back in again.
Bisect Results
I installed it during the week and tried today to change folders so I can sync between my phone and my PC.

Start by reproducing the problem in Android's directory settings with the saves and states folders, then trace how the selected folders are persisted when leaving that screen. Done means a custom folder remains selected after reopening directory settings and saving the configuration.
