[Fixed] DirectoriesMove not backing up (some) local foldersprapper
 I need to move a folder in and out of %APPDATA% so I have this in the launcher INI: [DirectoriesMove] folder=%APPDATA%\folder The folder is moving fine but if there's a local one present it isn't backed up. If I debug the launcher I'm getting the ${DebugMsg} "Matching directories for $1 discovered, deleting $0" message instead of ${DebugMsg} "Backing up $4 to $4.BackupBy$AppID" message that I would expect. I also used this with EAC: [DirectoriesMove] EAC=%APPDATA%\EAC AccurateRip=%APPDATA%\AccurateRip On checking, I'm finding that the local AccurateRip folder is backed up but the EAC one isn't. Any ideas? ( categories: )

After a little more testing,
After a little more testing, the first folder listed under [DirectoriesMove] will not back up the local version.
Local dir-01 is not backed up. Instead, it's removed from the system (back to Data) on exit.
Same here but dir-02 to dir-05 are all ok.
dir-03 is not backed but dirs 01, 02, 04 & 05 are all ok.
This is broken in the current release of PAL 2.1.1 and has been since 2.1 Beta 2.

You can test with any launcher, I used AntRenamer Portable. Are you not seeing a problem?
Nope
Just tested it with TortoiseHg Portable.

TortoiseHg Portable works
TortoiseHg Portable works fine. The only difference between AntRenamer Portable and TortoiseHg Portable is the [FilesMove] section so add this to the TortoiseHg Portable launcher:
Make sure %APPDATA%\TortoiseHg exists then run TortoiseHg Portable and watch what happens to that local folder.
Internal state
Hmm... it seems the internal state got mixed: using
test.txt=%AppData%doesn't trigger the issue. Working on it.EDIT: fixed in the repo.

Doesn't affect any official apps
I whipped up a script to check all our officially released apps and found that none of them is affected by this issue, which simplifies things somewhat. I can give you the script (note: it depends on the tip of the PADT repository) for your own checks, if you like.

Fixed?
Chris or kAlug, is this fixed in PAL 2.1.2? If not, can we get it fixed in 2.2?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Yes
In fact, that's the only reason for the release of PAL 2.1.2.
