- Windows: creating a board in a folder of your own works again — Choosing where a board lives — at board creation, through Connected Folder, or when importing or reconnecting a board folder — linked the board to that folder with a symbolic link, and Windows only grants those to an account running as administrator or with Developer Mode switched on. For everyone else board creation failed outright with “A required privilege is not held by the client”. Windows now uses a directory junction, which needs no special privilege and behaves exactly like the link macOS and Linux use.
- Changing the Media Folder actually changes it — Picking a new folder under Options only wrote the setting: the running app kept saving into the old folder while every path it looked up pointed at the new one, so new boards went to the old place and then reported themselves missing. The app now stops, moves and restarts as one operation, and offers to bring your boards with it — instantly on the same drive, copied across if not, and put back untouched if anything goes wrong partway. Boards kept in a Connected Folder move as the pointer they are, so your own folders are never copied or touched.
- A folder the app can’t reach is refused, not half-created — Pointing a board at a network share used to appear to work and then open the board read-only with “the board folder is missing”. The app now checks before anything is moved and says exactly why a folder can’t be used, and every board folder link is walked once before it is accepted — a link that leads nowhere is never left behind.
- The media folder is checked when you pick it — Board folders and Connected Folder work through a link placed in the media folder, and not every drive can hold one — a network share can’t, and neither can a disk formatted exFAT or FAT32. Choosing one used to be accepted silently and only surfaced later as a broken board. The app now tests the folder on the spot and either accepts it or tells you why it can’t be used, changing nothing when it’s refused.
- The database file options have been removed from the Options menu — Pointing the app at a different database never moved or merged anything, so it was an easy way to end up with a setup that looks like lost work. If you already set your own database file it keeps being used exactly as before.
